From the CRICKET section foreword: “Cricket ought to be to English boys what Habeas Corpus is to Englishmen. It is, indeed, a game; but it is something more than a game. It is an institution, a passion, a part of the people's life. It has got into the blood of the Nation, and from Lord's to Sydney, from Invercargill to Demerara, it is played with eagerness and joy.”
