David Gower’s Half-Century cover

Ashes-winning former England cricket captain David Gower reveals his half-century of heroes, with anecdotes and insider knowledge from 40 years in the game.

Former England captain and impeccably stylish batsman David Gower, himself inducted into cricket's Hall of Fame, here takes a leap of faith and names his 50 greatest players of all time.

Going back through the history of the game, he honours the finest run-getters, wicket-takers, glove men and captains he played with and against, as well as those he has been able to observe as a spectator or commentator, and legendary achievers from earlier eras. Full of first-hand recollections and anecdotes, this book is sure to delight - and occasionally infuriate - cricket enthusiasts everywhere.

Who was the best of the great West Indian quicks? Have England heroes like Boycott, Pietersen and Flintoff made the cut? Who has been the greatest Australian batsman, post-Bradman? All is revealed in this lively and contentious celebration of cricket's true greats.

A host of keen insight, reflection and whimsy from a lifetime in the game. * All Out Cricket *
A fascinating list full of facts and anecdote that is a must for any cricket lover. * The Good Book Guide *
