'The Observer' (Ref:1380)

THE OBSERVER ON CRICKET is a selection from the sports pages of Britain's oldest Sunday newspaper, offering cricket lovers some of the finest prose on the game. High-quality writing, rather than mere news reporting, has always been the newspaper's tradition, and this is borne out by the articles from, amongst others, R. C. Robertson-Glasgow, wit and cricket correspondent for 'The Observer' for eight years; Alan Ross, poet, author and Robertson-Glasgow's successor; Hugh McIlvanney, here analysing in depth the two modern superstars, Ian Botham and Viv Richards; and Scyld Berry, the present correspondent. Occasional contributors here include names as diverse as Neville Cardus, on 'Bodyline'; Barry Norman, interviewing Geoff Boycott; and Shiva Naipaul, profiling the newest Test-playing country. Percy Fender offers his original thoughts on how to curb Bradman. Charlie Macartney and Len Hutton both write and are written about in their finest hours. Such a wealth of portraits, profiles, match reports and obituaries did not deserve to be buried in the paper's archives, and has been brought to light by the latest of The Observer's prose-writers, to be enioyed by any follower of the game and its literature. The book also includes a selection from the best of Observer photography.
