Slipless in Settle

Slipless in Settle is a search for the more dignified cricketing world of the ladies in flowery frocks, a nostalgic journey through northern League and village cricket, through mill towns, Dales hamlets, and pit villages where the pub is named after former-West Indies captain Rohan Kanhai. In the manner of the author's William Hill-shortlisted The Far Corner, Slipless in Settle mixes travelogue and sports history with witty match reports, observations on spectators, reminiscences of the author’s own low-grade playing career, and whole heap of pastry-based snacks.
