The indispensible guide to watching cricket - take it to all the games I go to. Have the last 50 years + of Playfair Annuals. Last time edited by Bill Frindall RIP - he will be missed by all cricket fans worldwide.

Format:Paperback
An incredible amount of information in a small book - ideal for carrying to matches! We have been buying these annuals for many, many years and constantly refer to them for all types of statistics. Easy format for quick referencing as Counties listed in alphabetical order followed by Bowling, Batting and International details. Last, but certainly not least, is the full fixture list for the current season.

Format:Paperback
The usual excellent detail of the past cricketing year.I have many years copies of this little album on my bookcase and it has never failed to supply all the information and history about the game that I need. It will be interesting to see how next year the staff manage to produce this annual following the sad loss of the great Bill Frindall.I will purchase it anyway.
