Sixteen Seasons in the Sun - Mostly

Get ready to be swept away by a heart-warming tale that transports you from the tranquil environs of an English village cricket match, to the hallowed turf of the MCG.

Meet Richard Harrison, a cricket-mad Australian who (while living in Kent) embarks on a career as an umpire and a subsequent journey of self-discovery.

For six years, Richard occupies the best seat in the house at some of the most beautiful cricket grounds in England.

But it's when he returns to Australia, that he is captivated by the skill and talent of some of the best female cricketers in the world.

Entertaining and funny throughout, Stumped presents a unique and amusing tribute to an ancient and fascinating pastime.

With every page, you'll be drawn deeper into the world of cricket and the joys and challenges that come with it.

But be warned, once you pick up this book, you won't want to put it down.
