Neil Drysdale £15.00 (inc p&p, £16.95 in shops)On the 20th anniversary of Freuchie's famous victory at Lord's in the Village Cup, the first Scottish club side ever to play at the home of cricket, Neil Drysdale takes an affectionate journey down memory lane, but also assesses the wider state of Scottish cricket as the national team prepares to compete in the World Cup qualifying tournament. Punchy, and always entertainingly written, this book is a 'tour de force', according to critic Sandy Strang, which makes "a worthy contribution to the sadly thin corpus of Scottish cricketing literature".
