Why don't you give exact delivery time?

MoreLong description:
Originally published in 1946, this was primarily a cricket book for schools and contained much that was new at the time. It was written by a schoolmaster, produced in a school, and a unique feature was that the action photographs are of boys who were at that time in the school team. The author had been coaching school cricket of all grades, Junior Games, House Games, and 1st XI teams for about 20 years, and was at the time of publication in charge of the cricket at Canford School, which, for a relatively small school, had recently produced some very good sides and players. In this book his methods are analysed in a style felt likely to commend itself to readers of all ages.
There are 97 action photographs to illustrate the author?s teaching.
While this book was primarily for schools, the instructional detail and the attractiveness of the photographs would also have appealed to more mature cricketers and the book was strongly recommended to all who are interested in the game. Today it can be enjoyed in its historical context.
Review for the original edition:
?Every cricket coach, every budding player, and, indeed, every lover of the game, will value this book. The author is a coach who knows what he is talking about, and the instructions given, combined with the action photographs ?. fully deserve the detailed study they are likely to receive.? ? A.M.A.
