Whenever an august figure departs the world of cricket The Daily Telegraph records a decorous tribute. There will certainly be an obituary
- in days of yore penned by the doyen of cricket writers E.W. Swanton in recent times unafraid to be a lot more whimsical waspish & even extremely funny. There will often be an appreciation by one of the paper's stable of cricket correspondents such as Derek Pringle Michael Henderson or Scyld Berry most likely drawing on their memories of having played against the subject or watched his deeds. & sometimes a hero's demise will prompt a heartfelt tribute from someone whose only qualification as an elegist is their own eloquence as John Major displays on Denis Compton & Michael Parkinson on Keith Miller. & those cricket lives deemed worthy of memorialising need not be illustrious Test careers though all the great names from Bradman to Bedser Cowdrey to D' Oliviera are here. They can also be quixotic county mavericks like ' Bomber' Wells self-effacing professionals like Tom Cartwright & Derek Shackleton or charismatic one-offs like Colin Milburn or the Nawab of Pataudi. They may not even be cricketers but rather much-loved commentators & broadcasters like Brian Johnston & Christopher Martin-Jenkins players-turned-umpires like David Shepherd & Bill Alley or like the Bishop of Liverpool who previously opened for Sussex & England have made their name equally elsewhere. Their achievements are often hymned by their peers
- Mark Nicholas on his Hampshire team-mate Malcolm Marshall Tony Lewis on John Arlott Colin Croft on Alf Valentine & Simon Hughes on facing the fearsome Sylvester Clarke. Here then are more than eighty greats of the game
- Australians & South Africans alongside Somerset yeomen & Yorkshire's finest. For any cricket lover this little book is an endlessly browsable testament to the sheer richness & variety of the cricketing life.
