Dave Wilson - ARTICLES

Wherein Dave Wilson, after almost a decade trying to find the best Test players, turns his beady eye to ODIs.

In the second part of his review of World Sports magazine, Dave finds Cardus extoling the virtues of both Trent Bridge and WG Grace.

Dave recalls inspirational cricket writing from his childhood, in particular the great Neville Cardus, who shared our own Martin Chandler’s sentiments on Lancashire (and Yorkshire).

This feature follows on from the earlier feature covering batsmen who had managed to notch up consecutive matches scoring at least 100 runs. Here, we look at bowlers who have most often managed to take at least six wickets in a match.

In 1912, the great South African all-rounder Aubrey Faulkner achieved something which would not be equaled for almost a century…and no one knew anything about it. Here Dave shines a light.

In this latest extract from Supreme Bowling, edited by Patrick Ferriday and CW’s Dave Wilson, Dave redresses the balance after unintentionally replacing Archie Mac in the previous feature. Sorry Archie!
