Cricket
In ‘The Complete Who’s Who of Test Cricketers” Christopher Martin-Jen-kins has compiled biographies of some 1600 players — which is a somewhat unique feat in the literature of cricket.
No previous book has attempted to relate the biography, style, personality and career achievements of every cricketer who has represented the seven countries engaged in the tussle and excitement of international cricket in the hundred or so years since England and Australia played the first-ever Test, in 1877. Separated according to each of the Test-playing nations, and in A-to-Z • order for easy and rapid reference, the detailed entries provide the full Test career, statistics, dates, most memorable performances and technical details of cricketers past and present.. These are com- ■ plemented by over 250 photographs showing many of the greatest players in action.
“The Complete Who’s Who of Test Cricketers” is available from Dorman’s bookshop in Cathedral Square.
