Forty years of cricketing statistics, compiled by Wendy Wimbush, form the basis of this volume which covers all aspects of Test, county and one day cricket. It includes final county championship tables, county averages, England's Test match results and players' averages. The courses of notable players' careers are traced, as are recent developments in the game from methods of play to crowd disruption and sponsorship. This is a year-to-year guide to the game of cricket as it has been played since the World War II, provided by former fast bowler Fred Trueman and well-known BBC radio commentator, Don Mosey.
