    About this ebook

    After yet another poor performance, John is dropped from Welmsworth Seconds, and at sixty-one years old thinks his career in village cricket might be over for good. Then he gets one last chance to prove himself ...


    Never Give Up is the first in Michael White's Tales from the Village Green series. A keen but extremely poor cricketer, Michael has a love for the game which he hopes is reflected in his stories about it.

    Never Give Up is a story of village cricket. As a result it's packed full of cricket terminology. If you don't know much about cricket then this story might not be for you. However, if you love village life and tales of simple heroism, then you may find it worth a read.
