Sadly it seems to be out of print, but Bob Woolmer’s posthumously published Art and Science of Cricket[0] is an incredibly expansive and throughly researched study of cricket as a sport. It seems to have been really difficult to translate the physics of cricket into actionable things for players, but this book is in my opinion the best attempt.
