Description
Cricket book, hardback. Photographic and pen portraits of every cricketer who has played for England since the war (up to 1993). 197 pages. Book is in very good condition given it is over 30 years old but dust jacket has some minor rips. Book is a unique item of cricket memorabilia, with so many England Test player signatures in. One such item is an envelope with a 1968 post mark on of a cricket tour to England’s West Country, which has been signed by England spinner Jim Laker. Another item is a Lord’s Cricket Ground menu from the Ashes Test of 1997 that has been signed by Brian Statham.
