Some men are born medium-paced, some achieve medium-pace others have medium-pace thrust upon them.
Trundling is as integral to club cricket as pints of mild and egg sandwiches, and over the centuries has been the predominant style in the professional game too. Yet so far nobody has paid much attention to the workhorses, the journeymen and the occasional genius who have taken their wickets not with the flashiness of speed or the romance of spin, but with craft, accuracy and the occasional dab of hair gel.
Examining the history of medium-pace bowling, explaining how swing both normal and reverse actually works, and telling the story of some the great and not so great dobbers of history, The Trundlers will bring bread-and-butter bowlers who 'do a bit off the seam', 'wobble the odd one about when conditions are right' or simply 'nag away at off-stump' out into the limelight for the first time.
Warm, affectionate and told with Harry Pearson's trademark humour, Trundlers celebrates the seamers in all their sleeves-rolled-up, uncomplaining everyday glory.
