Reviews

  • "This book deserves to be as big a hit as the blow Bell dealt a cricket ball on the bridge over the Bosphorus, propelling it from Europe into Asia" Daily Telegraph
  • "Weird and wonderful... One of the maddest, most enterprising cricket tours of all time" The Guardian
  • "Whether cricket is your thing or not, [Batting on the Bosphorus] is as good a case of culture collisions as you will probably read this year… Angus Bell has in some ways shoved two fingers up to the other notable Scottish roadtrip of the last few years – Ewan McGregor’s Long Way Round. Because, quite simply, it’s better." European Vibe Magazine
