‘Salad Days’ is a hugely exaggerated and wide-ranging comic story – based on all aspects of life as seen through the filter of low-level amateur cricket in the west of Scotland. It flits between the 1980s and very modern-day concerns, light heartedly and irreverently reflecting on a lifelong love affair with a pastime in the wrong place at the wrong time.
It moves way beyond cricket, and evolves as a wider tribute to friendship, passions, absurdity, human frailties, personal delusion, bizarre motivations, literature, and why some people love, and some people hate, cricket. Through reflections and a series of comic episodes it also touches on politics, literature, growing up, ageing, racism, and the strange relationship between Scotland and England. It is a tribute to heroes – small and big.
Above all, it seeks to be funny, because it all was.
