Cricket Forever! Critics of cricket sometimes say that the sport is too slow. That it is often boring. That a test match should not be five days long. That even a Twenty20 game takes too long. That more countries should play it. That it should be in the Olympic Games. They are, of course, wrong. This book celebrates all that is great about the grand old sport of cricket, and shows the haters that there are many fans who desire nothing more than a gripping match of cricket on the television. From Don Bradman to Sachin Tendulkar, and from Dennis Lillee to Muttiah Muralitharan, great batsmen and bowlers have taken the sport of cricket to new heights over the decades. With the game expanding to dozens of new countries, and with women's cricket going from strength to strength, it is surely only a matter of time before the world's Commonwealth Game makes its appearance in the Olympics. This book contains a large number of trivia puzzles and clues that will lead you to the names of some of the best cricket batsmen, bowlers, and fielders of all time. I have tried to include as many different players as possible - from those who played mostly Tests to those who only played ODIs, from obscure players to household names, and from all-rounders to specialists in their field. There are famous names, controversial names, popular names - a great mix of people who will help you relive the glory days of cricket in your mind. The book can be read in many different ways. If you want, you can go through the questions and puzzles by yourself, and test your skill against the clock - the answers are all provided, and multiple hints to the identity of each player are given. In addition, you can also play with one or more friends - the structure of the book is ideally suited to cooperative attempts. Just like in the sport of cricket itself, teamwork makes everything better and easier! You can also use it as the basis for a cricket based trivia competition, since a contest makes everything a little more interesting. The knowledge contained in this book will make sure that your brain is enriched after even a casual reading. It will challenge your memory and your trivia store, and test those to the limits - only the very best can help for a century score. At the same time, it will also give your mind a thorough workout, as you solve the clues to the name of each player in isolation, your pattern recognition skills can help compensate for the lack of knowledge of a particular player. The scoring for the puzzle games in this cricket book can be done in many different ways. You can give yourself two runs for every Format 1 question you get right without the hints, and a boundary for every Format 2 (scramble) question that you get correct without the aid of hints. If you need to use the hints on the nationality and debut year of the cricketer in question, your points reduce by half. At the end of each set of six chapters, you can total your score and see if you were able to get to a half century or a century. The number of points up for grabs increases dramatically in the last few chapters: legendary trivia cricket players might even be able to score a double or a triple century towards the end. Are you one of them? There is something about nail biting last over finishes to an ODI or T20 World Cup match or a sublime triple century composed over multiple innings of a crucial Test Match that cannot be replicated easily in any other sport. This book is a celebration of the players who toiled for decades so that they could bring us those moments of joy, and elevate our viewing experience to something unforgettable. Thank you, cricketers! I am sure that you will have a great time with this book. All the very best!

The Words We Live By takes an entertaining and informative look at America's most important historical document, now with discussions on new rulings on hot button issues such as immigration, gay marriage, gun control, and affirmative action. In The Words We Live By, Linda Monk probes the idea that the Constitution may seem to offer cut-and-dried answers to questions regarding personal rights, but the interpretations of this hallowed document are nearly infinite. For example, in the debate over gun control, does "the right of the people to bear arms" as stated in the Second Amendment pertain to individual citizens or regulated militias? What do scholars say? Should the Internet be regulated and censored, or does this impinge on the freedom of speech as defined in the First Amendment? These and other issues vary depending on the interpretation of the Constitution. Through entertaining and informative annotations, The Words We Live By offers a new way of looking at the Constitution. Its pages reflect a critical, respectful and appreciative look at one of history's greatest documents. The Words We Live By is filled with a rich and engaging historical perspective along with enough surprises and fascinating facts and illustrations to prove that your Constitution is a living -- and entertaining -- document.
