Third Man in Havana

For six years Tom Rodwell ran cricketing programmes from Cuba to Zimbabwe, attempting to soothe the world`s ills with the curiously English balm known as cricket. Touching, amusing and imbued with a deep love of the game, Third Man in Havana documents the characters and experiences Rodwell encountered, such as Guantanamo Cricket Club opening bowler, Stalin, who perhaps unsurprisingly didn`t take kindly to his LBW appeal being rejected in Cuba`s first ever match against an England X1. From Beersheva Cricket Club pavilion in Israel – a converted nuclear bomb shelter, useful in the face of Hamas` regular rocket attacks – to a game of `tapeball` cricket with ex-Tamil Tiger child soldiers behind barbed wire in Sri Lanka, Rodwell discovers that the heart of the game is beating fast in countries more used to conflict than cricket.
