وصف الكتاب | Getting Out is the story of how Ukraine's cricketers helped the people around them to escape from Russia's invasion in 2022, including first-hand accounts of the war.Cricket in Ukraine had a surprising and eccentric history. But when the bombings started, these cricketers found themselves in a fight for their lives as they rushed to the front lines to defend their country.Meanwhile, some Ukrainian refugees had an altogether different battle as they began to play cricket in a park in southern Europe, and fought to keep their country’s cricketing heritage alive.As well as eyewitness accounts of the first days of the war, the book holds many light-hearted stories – from the team where no one wanted to bat or bowl, to the biofuel developer who became Ukraine's first professional cricketer.It’s a story of courage, determination and hope, both on and off the field. |
