Using information on some 65,000 matches and more than 15,000
players, the records are given for every country in the world that
has played some form of international cricket between 24 September
1844, the date of the first international match, and the 6 April
2014. Since the records found in various annuals and on the
internet are restricted almost entirely to those countries that
play Test cricket, a large gap in the published statistical
information is filled, showing cricket as a truly global sport. The
records cover highest and lowest team scores; individual batting,
bowling, wicketkeeping and fielding performances; best wicket
partnerships of 100 runs or more and most extras in an innings.
Multi-innings, one-day and Twenty20 matches are treated separately
for both men's and women's internationals. The statistical tables
are supported by a text summarising the information provided and
highlighting important achievements.
The complete ball by ball reference guide to the world's biggest
Twenty20 cricket league. On May 24, 2015, Eden Gardens in Kolkata
hosted the final of the 8th IPL tournament. Mumbai Indians took on
Chennai Super Kings for the third time in an IPL final and after
posting a target of over 200, saw off their opponents to win their
second title. This is a complete record of the 8th Indian Premier
League and includes full scorecards, details of every ball bowled
in all 60 matches, with over summaries, dot ball analysis and
graphical comparisons of run rates as the matches progressed. The
book is also packed with batting, bowling, fielding and extras
statistics and profiles of each team.
Who will come out Number 1 after Three Tough Tests? Follow the 17th
Man as he witnesses the epic struggle between SA and AUS for Test
Cricket Supremacy. The series unfolds day by day via the quirky and
insightful pen of The 17th Man, the last player picked in the
Australian cricket squad South Africa started as warm favourites,
but like England before them, were blasted off the park by the
Australian pace attack. All the triumph and controversy is here -
bruises and broken shoulders, sausages and stonewalling, big game

science, and idle thoughts in intervals, sparks cricket devotee Dr.

Anyway, what is 'Good Cricket'? Could cricket coverage be improved?
Why prefer radio to television commentary? Current and future
technologies, for better or worse? Heuristics galore, how better to
judge a match? Better than a hat trick, what do you call it? What
of cricketing chimpanzees or a cloned cricketer? Join the English
gentleman and X-Professor of Systems Science and Engineering's
enjoyment of all cricket. Relive with him a hilarious commentary at
Lord's and other matches he watched on the radio. "Dr. Dan's
Diaries - worth a million there." - Tweet read out on BBC local
radio, Middlesex v. Durham at Lord's, 10th. September, 2014, and
not from the author.
This is a gentle ramble through Northamptonshire cricket, through
the fields of maroon and gold. There are plenty of signposts along
the way, pointing at the big players and stopping off at some of
the big matches that, between 1974 and 2013, have been part of
Northamptonshire's cricketing map. From the author's first
introduction to life at Wantage Road, right through to the Twenty20
coronation at Edgbaston - only the fourth major trophy in
Northamptonshire's history. The book is intended to be a ramble,
pottering here and there but by no means covering all the ground.
It reflects upon how some of world cricket's biggest names
contributed to the county game with Northamptonshire and touches on
what life was like covering the fortunes of the county cricket club
as a reporter before professionalism took a stranglehold. In
particular, it tells the story of one local boy who did very good -
David Capel, who spent 33 years at Wantage Road as a boy and a man,
a player and a coach, and in-between time fitting in an England
career as an all-rounder. Former chief executive Steve Coverdale
and several former players - Capel himself, David Steele, Geoff
Cook, Dennis Lillee, Rob Bailey, Nigel Felton, Winston Davis,
Andrew Hall and David Ripley - provide an overview of a diverse and
colourful cricket club. While short of trophies, Northamptonshire's
cricketers have never fallen short in their determination to attack
and entertain over the years. Welcome to Wantage Road. Keep on
attacking
Kingsmead, Durban, December 2015. It's lunchtime on the first day of the Test match between the Proteas and England. AB de Villiers is being interviewed on SuperSport and he holds aloft a book. The camera focuses in: it's At the Crease!
This handsome hardback edition commemorates the extraordinary journey travelled by the Proteas since readmission to world cricket in 1991. From the first tour of India, At the Crease is filled with a selection of the finest photographs from Gallo Images that capture the triumphs and tragedies on the cricket field.
Which cricket lover will ever forget Mark Boucher punching the sky after scoring the winning runs in the "438" game against Australia? What about when Makhaya Ntini took five wickets at Lords and knelt down to kiss the hallowed turf?
At the Crease has it all, and will include detailed captions, a brief history, and an introduction from a leading cricket player.
