Daily Telegraph Book of CricketReview date: 2009-09-05 Rating: 8 out of 10Prompt delivery of this book, book a bit disappointing as there are no illustrations but a good price.Rather unbalancedReview date: 2008-10-28 Rating: 6 out of 10As a long-time Telegraph reader I found this rather disappointing. Certainly, there's nothing wrong with the articles it contains, but half the book is devoted to the last 30 years, the first half to the period 1882 to 1979. I suppose the compiler needed another couple of volumes to make a really good job of it.
All the familiar Test highlights are there. I was hoping to find more on the county game; some very witty and entertaining reports were written by the likes of John Reason and John Thicknesse in the 1960's, for instance, but I could find only one of those.
There are no pictures apart from those on the cover, no scorecards and no index.FascinatingReview date: 2008-08-28 Rating: 10 out of 10A splendid collection of the very best cricket writing from the Daily Telegraph, from the latter part of the C19th up to the early years of the C21st. This includes gems by a range of respected writers including the great E.W. Swanton, the witty and perceptive Martin Johnson, and the clear thinking and strong opinions of Michael Atherton. A fascinating cross section of British cricket history that can be dipped into time and time again.
