From Somerset stalwart to acclaimed writer and broadcaster, Vic Marks has lived a life steeped in cricket. In Full Marks he takes us beyond the boundary rope, sharing the parts of the game fans don't get to see, from the food served at tea-time (then: sweaty ham. Now: quinoa, cranberry and feta salad) to the politics of the dressing room. With chapters on what it feels like to be dropped, how to be a good twelfth man, captaincy, selection and more, this amusing and insightful collection will delight all cricket lovers.
Fans of Vic Marks's autobiography (Original Spin: Misadventures in Cricket, A&U 2019), plus readers of Simon Hughes, Mike Brearley and Derek Pringle
"It's the literary equivalent of an afternoon in the sun at a county outground, and who doesn't enjoy that?"
