Half a Century of Writing By David Frith. This is a broad collection of the best of David Frith's writings on the game's history, personalities and controversies. It draws from almost 40 years of description, investigation and comment on cricket's great occasions, the upheavals and the colourful personalities who have made the headlines, as well as some of the lesser-knowns. The range is wide, taking in the earliest contests right up to England's victory over Australia in 2009.
