Review: Unimaginable mix of love, cricket and non-sense

I thought it to be simple love story with cricket background, but it turned out to be entirely different. After only a few pages, I realized that it is not the routine love story. This is the story of a gorgeous, arrogant, extremely rich, courageous and shameless girl who could go to any extent to save the honour of her high class society from loosing a cricket match held between her school and working class boy's school. The game had no fixed rules, they could be changed at the wish of this girl, whose father is an all powerful man of the town, owning almost everything in the town. It became obvious that it is not cricket any more when this girl is allowed to bat in a match between two teams of boys. Still I expected some sense to prevail after the decision of her going to bat had been taken when their team was loosing wickets and score was not moving up, but what happens on the field thereafter, is unimaginable by any standards of sanity. The strike bowler of the rival team is seduced, the umpire is beaten up, all kind of nonsense goes on the field and off the field. It is no doubt funny throughout the book and many people who like this kind of genre would love it, but not everyone. My complaint is that this book has a high content of dirty words, but there is no such warning in the beginning of the book to avoid its going into hands of children.
