New Book for Wicket-Keepers

The cricket master at Stowe, James Knott, son of Alan, has written a new book for wicket-keepers - Wicket-Keeping: A Comprehensive Modern Guide for Cricket Players and Coaches. Oliver Croom-Johnson, who is clearly gearing up for his 43rd season since his Cricketer Cup debut, has recommended it to Stowe Templar wicket-keepers, and was reluctant to try to steal a march on opponents, so has asked me to recommend it to other wicket-keepers in the competition.
