CRICKET BOOKS

As readers would expect Martin has been admonished for taking almost a decade to even find out about a biography of Test cricket’s leading wicket taker let alone review it, but he has apologised for his laxity so no further disciplinary action will be taken

Martin was not entirely happy when tasked with reviewing this one, but contrary to his expectations seems to have enjoyed what he read

By no means the first book on the subject of Lord’s that is available, it certainly seems that this pictorial offering is one of the best

This week we are delighted to welcome back Tim Dale-Lace, who has been reading a book credited to two of the stalwarts of the 1970s TMS team

We understand how difficult it is to buy Christmas presents for the true cricket tragic, and for 2019 this one is our best suggestion

We are delighted to welcome Jonathan Northall back again, with a review of 2019’s fourth title to feature Donald Bradman
