Gods or Flannelled Fools? by Keith Miller and R S Whitington

Book Description

Secondhand. Good condition. Wear to book corners and edges. Foxing to foredges, endpages and preliminary pages. Pages have sunned. Dust jacket has tearing at edges and is now enclosed in a protector. Binding is still very good.

Miller and Whitington pose the question - gods or flannelled fools. Then comes a trinity of stories of three great men of cricket - C B Fry, Victor Richardson and Sir Pelham Warner. There is also a section on gods in the making - Ritchie Benaud, Graeme Hole, Archie Jackson, Michael Colin Cowdrey and Peter May.

This book also tells the full story of the Coronation tour of 1953 and of the great series of tests which brought back the Ashes to England for the first time in twenty years.
