The first issue of new comment and polemic magazine The Critic devotes a double-page review by the renowned cricket writer Michael Henderson to Neville Cardus, in which he praises A Field of Tents and Eaving Colours as ‘a handsome introducton to Cardus’. ‘In the years ahead’, he concludes, ‘when our cricket is given increasingly to the T20 thrash and something called The Hundred, we shall revisit Cardus to restore our spirits, and very possibly to revive our souls.’
