OK, but there are better books out there January 8, 2007
Great, the Don's selection for his greatest Ashes team. Except that's where his involvement ends. Roland Perry's pocket profiles of the 24 players the Don selects are the problem: he begins with describing the player's greatest Ashes innings and THEN explains their background, and profesional career which makes the book seem slightly disjointed. His profiles are quite dull, a collection of highest innings and series by series averages descends into a list of meaningless stats once you have read more than a few pages, and if you try reading the book cover to cover the sheer volume of numbers will probably give you a migraine. As the book was first published in 2000 players such as S. Waugh, Ponting or Warne do not make the cut and while that would not normally be a failing, the profiles of the players which are included are far to short, plus there are at least 100 pages of large type title pages within the book so you get a lot less writing than you think when you buy it. If you are really interested in the players featured then get a decent indivdiual biography; Fred Trueman's book adequately covers his own life plus some details of Hutton, Bedsar et al which are missing from this.
