Remarkably, a paper as committed to sports coverage as the "Telegraph" has never collected all its best cricket writing over the years into one volume. Now, Nick Hoult, who covers cricket for the paper's sports desk, has filled that gap. There is a wealth of material. The early coverage from the start of the twentieth century, is evocative reportage, ranging from the deaths of W.G. Grace and Victor Trumper and the exploits of C.B. Fry, through Douglas Jardine's own self-penned column on the Bodyline series, to "Jim" Swanton's magisterial distillations of Don Bradman's Ashes performances.
