Product Description
Sussex was the first county to formally found a cricket club when, in 1839, the Revd George Langdon formed what was known originally as the Royal Sussex County Cricket Club, the prefix being added owing to the interest that King George IV had taken in the sport. Among its early members were John Wisden, the founder of the Almanack, and the Lillywhite family, a member of which captained England in their first Test match in 1877. In the early 1900s the batting of C.B. Fry and K.S. Ranjitsinhji made Sussex one of the strongest county teams and players such as Maurice Tate, Arthur Gilligan and Ranji's nephew, K.S. Duleepsinhji, brought some years of great success between the wars. It was not until the 1960s, however, that Sussex started to bring trophies back to Hove when they won the first two one-day finals and continued to prosper in this form of cricket. Sadly, they have yet to win the Championship.
This selection of over 220 images includes fascinating photographs and memorabilia that illustrate the team's history, from the middle of the nineteenth century up to the start of the twenty-first. Particular attention has been given to the strong family connection within the club, to the great players, such as John Langridge, Ted Dexter, Jim Parks and Tony Greig, and to the grounds on which they played.
With a foreword by Robin Marlar, formerly both a county captain and chairman, and with detailed captions by John Wallace, this book will appeal to fans of Sussex CCC or anyone with an interest in the history of cricket. --This text refers to the Paperback edition.
