Download or read book Test Cricket written by Peter Murray and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cricket has been a part of our lives for generations, in particular Test cricket. We can marvel at the feats of many greats through the years and try to imagine how the game was played in generations past. Thousands of books have been written and hundreds of players have been discussed. But the times are changing and I fear that within the next generation, Test cricket will be remembered as an old format of the game. There are many reasons for my prediction. First, the introduction of the Twenty 20 game. A fast moving, exciting and short format that allows the family an afternoon or evening of fun. We also live in an age where time is important and I fear that the public will no longer have the time or patience to spend five days absorbing a Test match. Finally, it is the cost factor. In so many ways, the cost of staging a Test series is now coming under the microscope. We are seeing fewer people attending Tests across the world and eventually, this will spell the death knell of Test cricket. We should therefore consider ourselves extremely lucky to have lived in an era where such greats of Test cricket have been on display. Yes, the first fifty years of Test cricket was filled with exciting and memorable figures with the likes of W.G. Grace and Don Bradman leading the list. But it is this period after WWII that will eventually be remembered as the 'greatest period.' We just have to look at the past thirty years to gather a list of truly memorable greats - some of whom have been included in this book. In twenty years, when Test cricket is only played as an exhibition sport, we will remember the flashing blades of Brian Lara, Sachin Tendulkar and Garry Sobers dressed splendidly in their whites. Our memories will be filled with masterful stroke play, brilliant tactical captaincy, effortless ball placement and the magic art of spin bowling. Let's enjoy and support Test cricket before it is lost forever. The shorter forms of the game are exciting and fast, but lack the true fascination, history and guile of a Test match. One Hundred Years of Test Cricket is a compact history of the game produced in our exclusive tactile format in the hope that the game and the players will always be remembered for these exciting Test cricket years.

Book Synopsis Andrew Strauss: Coming into Play - My Life in Test Cricket by : Andrew Strauss
Download or read book Andrew Strauss: Coming into Play - My Life in Test Cricket written by Andrew Strauss and published by Hodder & Stoughton. This book was released on 2012-03-01 with total page 155 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On May 21, 2004, playing against New Zealand, Andrew Strauss wrote his name into the record books when he became only the fourth batsman to score a century at Lord's on his Test debut. He made 112 in the first innings and was only denied a historical second hundred when he was run out on 83 by Nasser Hussain. England went on to beat New Zealand 3-0 before returning to headquarters to welcome the West Indies, Strauss scoring 137 as the hosts laid the foundations for another whitewash. He then raised the bar again when touring the country of his birth, making three centuries in England's first win in South Africa in 40 years. This sensational start to his international career has ensured that he has been celebrated as a world-class opening batsman, and was voted Wisden's Cricketer of the Year 2005. In THE STORY SO FAR, Andrew Strauss looks back on his early cricketing days and astounding first year in Test cricket, and gives the inside story on what it is like to be part of an incredible England side fighting to overtake Australia as the number one cricketing nation. THE STORY SO FAR also includes his personal story of how England beat Australia in the 2005 Ashes Series, in which he played a major part.
Download or read book Real Jeeves written by Brian Halford and published by eBook Partnership. This book was released on 2013-07-01 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Real Jeeves tells the story of a young cricketer whose glorious life was snuffed out, but whose name will live forever. Plucked from country-house cricket, all-rounder Percy Jeeves was to outshine the Golden Age's greats over two seasons with Warwickshire, clean bowling Jack Hobbs, hitting Wilfred Rhodes for six, and outclassing England captain Plum Warner. In September 1914, Jeeves bowled Warwickshire to victory over champions Surrey. It was his 50th first-class match-and his last. The Real Jeeves traces Percy's life from idyllic childhood via county cricket into the nightmare of war. Excerpts from battalion diaries detail the horrors of the Western Front, and ultimately his demise on the Somme. Yet Percy Jeeves' name lived on thanks to P. G. Wodehouse, who saw him play at Cheltenham in 1913 and was so impressed he noted the name for a character who shared the modest Yorkshireman's immaculate conduct and appearance.
Book Synopsis Not Out at Close of Play by : Dennis Amiss
Download or read book Not Out at Close of Play written by Dennis Amiss and published by The History Press. This book was released on 2021-03-01 with total page 251 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: You could argue that Dennis Amiss' seven-decade cricket career started the day he was born, when his parents named him after not one but two celebrated cricketers. Or maybe it started when he was 7, sneaking into the Birmingham Cooperative Society to play a few matches with his friends – as long as they avoided the groundskeeper! Or perhaps it was on 7 April 1958; not only his fifteenth birthday, but also his first day as a professional cricketer. Whatever day you start on, there's no denying that Amiss has had an extraordinary career. He is one of England's cricketing greats, with 100 first-class hundreds to his name and a place as one of Wisden's Cricketers of the Year. Hugely well-respected on and off the pitch, he didn't shy away from controversy, taking part in the 1982 'Rebel Tour' of Apartheid South Africa, and somehow ending up in the midst of the battle between World Series Cricket and the England Cricket Board. Not Out at Close of Play is the story of how passion, commitment and practice – and no small amount of stubbornness! – took a boy from the backstreets of Birmingham to worldwide cricket stardom.
