Summary "The Cricket of Abel, Hirst, and Shrewsbury" by E. F. Benson and Eustace Miles is a sports manual written in the early 20th century. This instructional guide delves into the techniques of cricket, focusing on aspects such as batting, bowling, and fielding, and aims to enhance the skills of both beginners and more experienced players. The book combines practical advice with insights from noted cricket figures, specifically analyzing the playing styles of three influential cricketers: Abel, Hirst, and Shrewsbury. The beginning of the text provides a detailed preface that emphasizes the importance of self-instruction and observation in learning cricket. It outlines the challenges faced by beginners who struggle to learn from watching experts and introduces the use of photographs to help illustrate proper techniques. The authors express their intention to create a systematic approach to mastering cricket fundamentals, presenting an array of exercises and tips designed to foster an understanding of the game. By encouraging readers to study successful players and apply their observations, the book sets the stage for a thorough exploration of the mechanics of cricket, with a specific focus on batting and its various intricacies.
