Product Description
Product Description
Who'd make it into the best England team ever? And you can chose anyone, regardless of when they might have played. Would W.G. Grace be playing alongside Denis Compton and David Gower? Or Kevin Pieterson? The debate could be endless, so who better to make the selection than Geoffrey Boycott, himself one of England's all-time highest scoring Test batsmen and now the game's most forthright, shrewd and iconoclastic commentator.Based on his own fresh analysis amd interpretation of the statistics, Boycs has come up with his own, sometimes surprising Best Eleven of all time. And he's not just cast a critical eye over England's finest either. Every other test-playing nation comes under the spotlight. You may not agree - in fact, you're almost certain not to - but each player has been carefully chosen and the case for his inclusion forcefully argued in what is sure to be the most entertaining, thought-provoking and memorable cricket books of the year from one of the game's most outspoken and enduring characters.
From the Inside Flap
Who'd make it into the best England team ever? And you can choose anyone, regardless of when they might have played. Would W.G Grace be playing alongside Denis Compton and David Gower? Or Kevin Pietersen? Would Harold Larwood be in the bowling attack alongside Fred Trueman? Would there be space for Bob Willis? What about Beefy or Freddie? Who would keep wicket?
The debate could be endless, so who better to make the selection than Geoffrey Boycott, one of England's greatest Test batsmen and now the game's most forthright, shrewd and challengin commentator?
Based on his own fresh analysis and interpretation of the statistics, Boycs has come up with his own sometimes surprising Best Eleven of all time. And he's not just cast a critical eye over England's finest either. Every other Test-playing nation comes under the spotlight.
Taking the same in-depth approach, Boycs has made his own selection of the best ever teams from Australia, West Indies, South Africa, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and New Zealand, pausing to consider both Bangladesh and Zimbabwe, before deciding who might be selected for the best team ever.
You may not agree - in fact, you're almost certain not to - but each player has been carefully chosen and the case for his inclusion forcefully argued in what is sure to be the most entertaining, thought-provoking and memorable cricket book of the year, from one of the game's most outspoken and enduring characters.
