"'I'm delighted the cricket world will be reminded of Jim Kilburn's writing skills and his knowledge and love of the game' Richie Benaud 'He was the very best of cricket writers.' Dickie Bird 'Nowadays, I believe there are too many writers attached to cricket who know bugger all about it - Jim was different.' Geoffrey Boycott 'His prose was clear, simple and elegant; [a] little, perhaps, like the batting of the Len Hutton he admired so much and wrote so much about.' Christopher Martin-Jenkins 'As a Lancastrian, I might be expected to root for Kilburn's contemporary Cardus, but I believe that the Yorkshireman beats him by an innings.' Geoffrey Moorhouse"
