The Bedsers by A Hill
Sporting twins Alec and Eric Bedser rose to reign as key members of the Surrey cricket team during a succession of seven championships in the 1950s. This study explores the puzzles of their twinship and charts their progress in the cricketing world during the 1940s and 50s.
'A touching and rewardingly heroic new biography of sports most eminent, and inseparable, ancients' The Guardian; 'A lovely dual biography which refutes the idea that cricketers slump into depression when they retire.' Daily Mail; 'Any book by Alan Hill is likely to start aquiver the antennae of those concerned with annual literary awards. He has never written a book without distinction but his account of the amazing lives of the Bedser twins is likely to be rated as his best.' The Cricketer
