Surrey County Cricket Club have been involved in many titanic struggles over the years & fifty of the very finest encounters are relived within the pages of this book. With match reports, scorecards & illustrations, it recounts vital & historic encounters against rival first-class counties & touring sides from around the world. Many of the matches that will be remembered most fondly by supporters of the club will be from those years in which Surrey won the County Championship; the most impressive run of success was from 1952 to 1958, & this is reflected by the inclusion of fourteen matches from that era. Some matches have been included because of historical personal performances such as Jack Hobbs breaking W.G. Grace's record of scoring the most centuries in first-class cricket against Somerset at Taunton in 1925 & Pat Pocock taking seven wickets in eleven balls against Sussex at Eastbourne in 1972. Matches against the touring Australians, whom Surrey have beaten on nine occasions, also feature, including the famous 1956 match when Jim Laker took ten wickets in an innings. The growth in more recent times of one-day cricket is recognised with the inclusion of the incredible 2002 C&G Trophy match against Glamorgan at The Oval when many records were broken. This book is full of wonderful memories celebrating the great achievements of Surrey CCC over the years & is required reading for any supporter of the club. ...
