On orientalism in cricket try Mike Marqusee "War Minus the Shooting"
(can't remember the publisher) which is about the 1996 world cup in
S.Asia and (even though cricket bores me rigid) it is brilliantly
written. Starts off with some buffer at Lords asking the South
Asians for their Christian names ... Writer a long standing Marxist.
