Book excerpt: Many people interested in cricket might very well view another book about Don Bradman with a sigh and wonder if there can be anything new to say on the subject. It is, of course, an understandable reaction as up until now books about 'The Don' have followed a similar pattern, concentrating almost exclusively on his achievements and life story as the greatest exponent of the art of batsmanship in the 20th Century. However, what no book about Bradman has tackled until now is the reasons why he was so much better than anyone else. 'Bradman Revisited - The Legacy of Sir Donald Bradman' does just that. Drawing on the thoughts of Bradman himself, contemporary eye-witness accounts, film and video evidence and recent research done at the John Moores University in Liverpool, author Tony Shillinglaw gets to the heart of the matter of the Bradman phenomenon, revealing the answers to the most important questions: What made Don Bradman so much better than anyone else? What was his secret? Can his method be adopted by aspiring batsmen? It also addresses the reasons why Bradman was misunderstood during his playing career, and why nobody until now has made a fully comprehensive study of the method

Vivian Jenkins' work brings to life the drama of the 1970s and World Series Cricket, while Philip Brown's camera ranges across international cricket up to the present day.
