The game of cricket has always been a popular sport among lawyers
and has been played by many of them. However, only a few lawyers have managed to reach the ultimate in gaining national colours.
In fact, only 32 have represented South Africa.
Heinrich Schulze, a De Rebus columnist and a professor of law,
recently published this book containing biographical sketches of
these 32 lawyer-cricketers. Some of the more familiar names include
attorneys Artie Bisset, Clive van Ryneveld, John Traicos, Dave
Richardson and Mandy Yachad.
As an attorney who played cricket for many ycars myself. I
found the book very intcresting and immensely readablc. It has becn
very well researched and deals with the legal and cricket careers of
the subjects.
This book is a must for all cricket lovers.
