The book

Here are Cobden?s
hat-trick at Lords in 1870, batting with Grace in the 1890?s, Fred Tate and Jessop's Tests of 1902 and the controversial
incidents of the 1932/3 ?Bodyline? tour, all relived by the players in the middle - C. B. Fry, Hirst and Rhodes, Hobbs
and Sutcliffe, Larwood and Bradman. The players themselves give their own accounts of the classic matches they played in
and recall the great figures of the Golden Age.

E. W. Swanton knew all these players, and no one has written
or broadcast with more authority or affection on the game of cricket. He watched his first Test in 1921 at the Oval,
began reporting for the BBC in 1934 and, since his retirement as the 'Daily Telegraph?s? cricket correspondent in 1975,
has continued to write extensively, both in ?The Cricketer? and in his many books on the game. Above all ?Jim? Swanton
brings his own warmth and sense of nostalgia to these recollections, the great characters and the historic incidents
they describe.

The author

Ernest William (Jim) Swanton CBE (11 February 1907 ? 22 January 2000) was a British
journalist and author, chiefly known for being a cricket writer and commentator under his initials, E. W. Swanton. He
worked as a sports journalist for The Daily Telegraph and as a broadcaster for BBC Radio for 30 years. He was a regular
commentator on Test Match Special, easily recognised by his distinctive "fruity" voice. After
"retiring" in the 1970s, he continued to write occasional articles and columns, virtually until his death.
