    de Stephen Wagg ...
    Series series Routledge Research in Sports History
    Cricket is an enduring paradox. On the one hand, it symbolises much that is outmoded: imperialism; a leisured elite; a rural, aristocratic Englishness.

This ambitious new history recounts the politics of cricket around the world since the ... Leer más

    Sport and the Cold War
