In The Immortals of English Cricket, Bill Ricquier tells the cricketing life stories of eleven of England' s greatest (male) cricketers. Ricquier selects his Immortal English team from players who didn' t just dominate, they changed the game with their sheer will. Those portrayed include Jack Hobbs, the highest run-scorer in the history of first-class cricket, Ian Botham, who was the most famous sportsman in the country in the 1980s and James Anderson, England' s leading Test wicket taker. Selected also is the legendary slow left arm bowler who made almost 40,000 first-class runs and took over 4,000 first-class wickets and the extraordinary, almost indefinable bowler who averaged 16. 43 in Test cricket. The Immortals of English Cricket will inspire discussion, debate and controversy but indisputably represents a team of remarkable skill and character, one to proudly represent the Crown and Three Lions on any Elysian field.
Bill Ricquier is a lawyer and cricket person, born and raised in England, who has practised and taught law in Singapore and England for over 30 years. Born in Hampshire, England into a cricket loving family, he still has vivid memories of his first visit to the County Ground, Southampton as a ten-year-old. His first cricket book, co-authored with his brother and a friend, was Hampshire: 100 Greats. This was followed by The Indian Masters and The Pakistani Masters, each of which was published in England and India. Bill Ricquier is a cricket historian and cricket blog writer for From The Pavilion End, which focuses on current cricketing events, but also explores the game' s rich history, often using current events as a peg to examine cricketers and matches of the past. www. billpavilionend. com
