  From the earliest daguerreotypes of the 1850s to today's long-lens, close-up shots, the task of facing the cricket photographer has always been to increase our enjoyment and appreciation of the game. Early pioneers like George Beldam and Herbert Fishwick captured the leading players of the day with a style and grace that has seldom been bettered. This collection of cricket photographs emphasises the quality of the photographs, which are supported by detailed captions and a look at how cameras have developed over the years. The author is, himself, a cricket photographer.
