Batting on the Bosphorus: A Skoda-powered Cricket Tour Through Eastern Europe
Angus Bell, an intrepid Scot living in Canada, has produced another cricket book from the outer reaches of cricket’s hebrides. Previously it was Slogging the Slavs; now, he’s turned his attention to…eastern Europe. Actually, it might be a revised copy of the old book. I’m not sure. Anyway, it’ll probably be highly entertaining - Angus, if you’re reading, tell us more in the comments!
Go and buy it immediately at Amazon. GO TO IT NOW.
What the reviewers say:
“This book deserves to be as big a hit as the blow Bell dealt a cricket ball on the bridge over the Bosphorus, propelling it from Europe into Asia” Daily Telegraph
“Weird and wonderful… One of the maddest, most enterprising cricket tours of all time” The Guardian
“Whether cricket is your thing or not, [Batting on the Bosphorus] is as good a case of culture collisions as you will probably read this year… Angus Bell has in some ways shoved two fingers up to the other notable Scottish roadtrip of the last few years – Ewan McGregor’s Long Way Round. Because, quite simply, it’s better.” European Vibe Magazine *****5/5*****
