by Rodney Marsh (Foreword), Jack Pollard (Author)
This is an analytical study of the art of the wicket-keeper and its most successful practitioners, from the legendary John Blackham, who kept wicket for Australia in the first test, to the modern-day test wicket-keepers. Marsh, Dujon, Evans, Grout, Knott, Engineer, Wasim Bari, Oldfield and a host of others are all discussed, their strengths and weaknesses evaluated, their temperaments and personalities examined. The book also includes an extensive appendix of wicket-keeping records - ranging from the most dismissals in a career to fewest byes conceded (per runs scored and per balls bowled).
