Book Description
"More than 3000 men have appeared in Test cricket, from the inaugural Test played in March 1877 to today. To reduce this list to the best 100 is an imposing task, and one that is guaranteed to provoke argument among those with an eye for the game's history and its greatest players. For this revised and fully updated fourth edition of The 100 Greatest Cricketers, experienced sportswriter and publisher Geoff Armstrong has compared eras, analysed career records, sifted through fact and fiction, all to come up with this 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. The 100 Greatest Cricketers will give enormous pleasure to fans and generate endless debate as connoisseurs compile and compare their own lists of cricket's greatest ever players."--Back cover.

Book Description
The 100 Greatest Cricketers takes the innovative approach of listing players in nine teams mdash; from Sir Donald Bradmanrsquo;s First XI to the Ninth XI featuring Peter May and Graeme Smith mdash; with Doug Walters as 100th Man! Of course, it is impossible for any such list to be truly definitive. This is perhaps the bookrsquo;s greatest appeal mdash; that you, the reader, are fully entitled to disagree with the authorrsquo;s opinion, while at the same time appreciating the qualities of the players profiled. Steve Waugh is not the only person who has wondered if the Second XI might beat the First XI. Who is in that top team? Who is rated as cricketrsquo;s greatest all-rounder, spinner, fast bowler and wicketkeeper? Who would you leave out to put your favourite player in? Were the old cricketers really so good? Have the modern champions superseded them? It was important in developing this Top 100 not to fall into the trap of picking players just because it has become fashionable to rate them highly. It is astonishing how some playersrsquo; reputations have grown as the memories of their playing days recede, while other more accomplished or important cricketers have been all but forgotten. For this third edition, five new players are included: Indiarsquo;s MS Dhoni (at No. 39), South Africarsquo;s AB de Villiers (No. 50), Hashim Amla (No. 61) and Dale Steyn (No. 71), and Indiarsquo;s Anil Kumble (No. 75). Sri Lankarsquo;s Kumar Sangakkara (No. 98 to No. 16) and South Africarsquo;s Jacques Kallis (No. 88 to No. 29) get big promotions. Fully revised and updated, The 100 Greatest Cricketers is a book to be savoured. Let the arguments begin!

Book Description
With every cricket season that passes the roll-call of great players gets longer. Batsmen, bowlers, fielders, wicket-keepers, captains, and characters. Every year more international cricket is played by more countries, making the task of ranking the best of them harder than it has ever been. And how do you compare a dazzling Twenty20 specialist of the modern era with a champion of the age before Test cricket officially started in 1877? Some years after the last of his highly regarded books was published, Christopher Martin-Jenkins has accepted the challenge of selecting the 100 best players of all time, one that he has called 'impossible but irresistible'. Placing them in order of precedence, he has analysed each of them, assessing their characters, the cricketing elements that made them so outstanding and the special qualities that enabled them to be pre-eminent in their time. Whether Sachin Tendulkar, Ricky Ponting, Kevin Pietersen, Brett Lee, Muttiah Muralitharan and Jacques Kallis, heroes of the contemporary game, will make a list that includes immortal cricketers such as W.G. Grace, Don Bradman and Gary Sobers, will be as fascinating as where they may be rated in the pantheon. Having written and commentated on international cricket for 40 years, Martin-Jenkins is almost uniquely qualified to act as judge and jury.

Book Description
Sachin Tendulkar made an immediate impact on the cricket world at the tender age of 16 in 1989. For the next 24 years he went from strength to strength and even in his teens was recognized as one of the world's greatest batsmen. By the end of his career in 2013 he had cemented his place as one of cricket's all-time greats. This best-selling biography was first released in 2002, followed by the second and third editions in 2010 and 2012. The Collector's Edition marks the master's 50th birthday, a decade since his retirement. Prolific author Gulu Ezekiel pens a compelling account of Sachin the man and the legend. He tracks him from his childhood and follows him on his meteoric rise to international stardom. With meticulous attention to detail, Ezekiel reconstructs the crucial matches and events that have marked Tendulkar's glittering career.

Book Description
A tribute to the finest writers on the game of cricket and an acknowledgement that the great days of cricket literature are behind us. There was a time when major English writers – P. G. Wodehouse, Arthur Conan Doyle, Alec Waugh – took time off to write about cricket, whereas the cricket book market today is dominated by ghosted autobiographies and statistical compendiums. The Picador Book of Cricket celebrates the best writing on the game and includes many pieces that have been out of print, or difficult to get hold of, for years. Including Neville Cardus, C. L. R. James, John Arlott, V. S. Naipaul, and C. B. Fry, this anthology is a must for any cricket follower or anyone interested in sports writing elevated to high art.
