Book excerpt: EVERY TEST AND ONE-DAY PLAYER EVER! Unbeknown to most cricket fans, a significant milestone in the game has just been passed. Towards the end of 2006, the number of cricketers to have played in a Test match or a full One Day International reached 3,000. It is therefore fitting that there is finally a single publication that contains a comprehensive record of every elite cricketer to have played the game since Australia and England did battle at the MCG in that historic first Test in 1877. This type of book has been asked for countless times over the years; a single, easily understood publication that contains the name of every cricketer to have played the game at the highest level. Want to know how many wickets W.G Grace took in his Test career or who was the only bowler to take two hat-tricks in the same Test? — The answers are all here in The Encyclopedia of International Cricketers, the first book to provide a comprehensive record of every cricketer who has played in a Test or ODI. For the statistically minded The Encyclopedia of International Cricketers has a comprehensive table for each player that includes date of birth, cap number, career span, aggregates, averages and ‘best figures’ for all Tests and ODI’s. For those who love the rich history of the game there are vibrant profiles for every player that looks into their lives inside, and occasionally beyond, the boundary rope.

Download or read book The Making of New Zealand Cricket written by Greg Ryan and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2004-08-02 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is generally forgotten that cricket rather than rugby union was the 'national game' in New Zealand until the early years of the twentieth century. This book shows why and how cricket developed in New Zealand and how its character changed across time. Greg Ryan examines the emergence and growth of cricket in relation to diverse patterns of European settlement in New Zealand - such as the systematic colonization schemes of Edward Gibbon Wakefield and the gold discoveries of the 1860s. He then considers issues such as cricket and social class in the emerging cities; cricket and the elite school system; the function of the game in shaping relations between the New Zealand provinces; cricket encounters with the Australian colonies in the context of an 'Australasian' world. A central theme is cricketing relations with England at a time when New Zealand society was becoming acutely conscious of both its own identity and its place within the British Empire. This imperial relationship reveals structures, ideals and objectives unique to New Zealand. Articulate, engaging and entertaining, Ryan demonstrates convincingly how the cricketing experience of New Zealand was quite different from that of other colonies.

Download or read book The Changing Face of Cricket written by Dominic Malcolm and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-10-18 with total page 471 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For cricket enthusiasts there is nothing to match the meaningful contests and excitement generated by the game’s subtle shifts in play. Conversely, huge swathes of the world’s population find cricket the most obscure and bafflingly impenetrable of sports. The Changing Face of Cricket attempts to account for this paradox. The Changing Face of Cricket provides an overview of the various ways in which social scientists have analyzed the game’s cultural impact. The book’s international analysis encompasses Australia, the Caribbean, England, India, Ireland, South Africa, Sri Lanka and Zimbabwe. Its interdisciplinary approach allies anthropology, history, literary criticism, political studies and sociology with contributions from cricket administrators and journalists. The collection addresses historical and contemporary issues such as gender equality, global sports development, the impact of cricket mega-events, and the growing influence of commercial and television interests culminating in the Twenty20 revolution. Whether one loves or hates the game, understands what turns square legs into fine legs, or how mid-offs become silly, The Changing Face of Cricket will enlighten the reader on the game’s cultural contours and social impact and prove to be the essential reader in cricket studies. This book was published as a special issue of Sport in Society.
