Biography & Memoir History Sport & Recreation

Cricket in the Manning 1893-2015 by Les Eastaway is a sweeping, stats-rich history of the game along New South Wales' Manning River, tracking club legends, district rivalries and country cricket culture across more than a century. Eastaway weaves match reports, photographs and oral anecdotes into a timeline that doubles as a social record of rural Australia.

This clean, tight paperback comes from a smoke-free home and shows no dog-ears or markings beyond the author's own pen—it's signed by Les Eastaway on the title page, making it a neat keepsake for collectors of regional sporting memoirs. Ideal for cricket buffs, local-history devotees or anyone hunting an Australian non-fiction gift that doesn't feel like a textbook, even though coaches and teachers frequently use it as one.

Young adults and older readers alike will appreciate how the book balances statistics with storytelling, proving that grassroots cricket can be every bit as dramatic as the international stage.
