Cricket’s Hard Men: The Toughest Characters from the History of Cricke
by Richard Sydenham (Author)

A groundbreaking study of cricket’s toughest players, as told through exclusive interviews with some of the biggest names in the sport’s history.

There is no simple definition of what makes a hard man of cricket; from resilience to physicality, or from pride to blind courage, Richard Sydenham considers players from across the spectrum of strength – and across the world – in this unique study.

The author consulted prominent ex-cricketers and broadcasters before studying this select band, looking beyond their achievements and into their character, with a focus on their origins and broader topics such as psychology and mental health.

The book includes:

Interviews with some of the most famous names in the cricket world, such as Viv Richards, Michael Holding, Javed Miandad and Jeff Thomson
The last in-depth interviews with England legends Brian Close and John Edrich
Examinations of cricket legends like Mike Atherton, Allan Border, Adam Hollioke, Douglas Jardine, Arjuna Ranatunga, John Reid, and Kepler Wessels
Perfect for cricket fans, this unique study gives a profound insight into the players who have cemented their names in history as cricket’s hard men.
