Synopsis & Historical Value
Cricket Statistics Year by Year 1946-1987 is a season-by-season reference to English first-class cricket in the post-war decades. Each season is set out with England Test averages, the county championship table and the leading first-class batting and bowling averages, followed by a round-up of the summer.
The statistics are accompanied by commentary from Fred Trueman and Don Mosey, and the volume is illustrated with action photographs, in black and white and in colour, throughout.
A useful companion for the cricket library, it suits readers who want to follow the players, counties and Test series of the period summer by summer.
