Publisher's Synopsis
As a cricket writer and historian with an encyclopaedic knowledge and a unique brand of wickedly sharp humour, Henry Blofeld is the ideal man to select the great players (not to mention a few notable commentators and umpires) who have livened up the sport over the years. From WG Grace and Donald Bradman to Denis Compton and Brian Lara, and late entry Michael Vaughan, not forgetting the original radio commentator, writer and poet John Arlott, this affectionate collection written and read with the author's contagious humour will delight from beginning to end.
