Christopher Martin-Jenkins says that none of the books on last year's epic Ashes have made it to the shortlist for the Cricket Society Book of the Year award.
The nearest thing to it being Stephen Fay’s description of Tom Graveney’s year as president of MCC: part biography, part insight into the workings of the world’s wealthiest, and most altruistic cricket club. Also on the list are a vibrant account of India’s momentous tour to Pakistan in 2003-04 by a talented young Indian writer half Fay’s age.
