The Grade Cricketer: Alphas, Champs and Chop Kings

Bigger, buffer and even more insecure than before, The Grade Cricketer is back

After wasting several years becoming a worldwide sports comedy phenomenon, The Grade Cricketer is back to deliver another sharp, hilarious and often risqué critique of the game. Full of side-splitting humour, it's a brilliant skewering of sporting masculinity and cricket culture, channeling the raucous energy of Sam Perry and Ian Higgins' hit podcast, TV, radio and live shows.

A hallowed, suspicious-smelling manual, Alphas, Champs and Chop Kings is an induction to grade cricket handed down through generations of cricketers who weren't quite good enough to play professionally.

Outrageous, ridiculous and sadly completely true, it's the handbook you should not give to any aspiring young cricketer.

'The Grade Cricketer nails it for anyone who's ever donned a pair of whites. Underneath all the laughs, he's just saying what we're all thinking. I actually find it hard to believe he's a fictional character ...' MERV HUGHES

'The Grade Cricketer is the finest tribute to a sport since Nick Hornby's Fever Pitch, and the best cricket book in yonks!' TOM KENEALLY

'The Grade Cricketer has taken us so far inside a district club dressing room that you feel like a locker. Ligaments could not be closer to the bone than some of his observations.' KERRY O'KEEFFE

'The Grade Cricketer is strange and, I suspect, brilliant'. WISDEN
