Reseñas
pretty good





Sripradha Iyengar
there were a few terms that someone who's not into cricket will not understand... The constant changing of the voices took some getting used to. over all, thumbs up:)
Cricket Overload





Phxjennifer
I've read a few British public school books, so I'm not entirely unfamiliar with the type of customs and ethics practiced. The problem with this book is that there is so much cricket description and play-by-play that I don't have the background for. On the plus side, most of the narrators are good to excellent. (But Dido is pronounced 'dye - doe )





A LibriVox Listener
The quality of the multiple readers tended to vary - but I could follow the story.
good read
