New Book by Rev Warren Bardsley - PASSAGE OF PLAY

When the author’s parents were persuaded by a cricketing relative to name him after a famous Australian Test batsman, a love affair with the game was born – a relationship which is described in this book.  But it isn’t just a book about cricket.  Commenting on the words of the great West Indian writer and politician, C.L.R. James, (“What do they know of cricket who only cricket know?”), Warren says, ‘Passage of play’ has been informed by that basic question: the conviction that cricket in a unique way, mirrors life and society, in all its varied aspects. In this book I have related significant events in my own journey through the lens of cricket.  In the interaction between play and lived experience, both serious and light-hearted, I have been enriched, enlightened, challenged and inspired.’
The book will be launched in October.  Published by Church in the Market Place at £9.99.  Copies can be ordered from Warren either by phone (01543 255292), or e-mail (w.bardsley39@btinternet.com) Further datails can be found here
