The pages of Wisden brought to life. October 1, 2001
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
Tea in the Pavilion is a collection of readings from Wisden Cricketers' Almanack on two cassettes that takes us on a journey through all manner of cricketing miscellanies. The readings are arranged chronologically according to the events to which they refer, from the 2nd Royal Surrey Militia being bowled out for nothing in the 19th century, to a village team being disbanded after others objected to the standard of its teas in 1999. In between comes everything from straight match reporting to stories of the bizarre, even an advertisement for Turkish baths. To anyone regarding the almanack as uninviting and overladen with statistics, it might well come as both surprising and refreshing. Most extracts are of under a minute in length, though five minutes are given over to the unusual sight of Americans playing both cricket and baseball at Lord's, and four to the D'Oliveira Case. The tapes are packaged in traditional Wisden yellow, and if one has a criticism it is not of the tapes, but of the packaging which gives neither the two-and-a-quarter hours running time, nor a list of the more than 100 items from which there are extracts, the cover unfolding to reveal nothing but an advertisement inside. More useful would have been a list of contents, with reference as to when and where an item first appeared in Wisden or where it may be found in one of the Wisden Anthologies, so one might more easily look up the full version.
