Almost 2500 men have appeared in Test cricket, from the inaugural Test played in March 1877 to today. In The 100 Greatest Cricketers, experienced sportswriter and publisher Geoff Armstrong has compared eras, analysed career records, sifted through fact and fiction - and enjoyed much discussion and debate with colleagues and friends - to come up with a list of the best players of all time, ranked from one to 100. He has done so by selecting nine teams, and then nominated his favourite all-time player as the '100th man'. Each team includes two openers, three middle-order batsmen, an all-rounder, a wicketkeeper and four bowlers, at least one of whom is a spinner. A selection of the very best of cricketing achievements. Who got dropped from these exclusive teams, and who made it in? Foreword written by Steve Waugh. Complemented with a broad range of colour and black-and-white photographs, as well as individual statistics for each selected player, Will give enormous pleasure to fans and generate endless debate as connoisseurs compile and compare their own list of cricket's greatest ever players. some rippling to top of front of dustjacket otherwise good condition
