Description:From the back cover:"Cricket has probably produced more well-known families than any other sport. Brothers, fathers, grandfathers and great-grandfathers, not to mention cousins, uncles and nephews, have all combined to make a significant impression on the game.""From the earliest days of Test cricket, the game has been dominated by notable families. From the 1870s to the turn of the twentieth century there were the Walkers, Bannermans, Graces, Gregorys, Hearnes, Gunns, Fosters and Trotts. Then came the princely clan of Ranji and Duleep, the Tyldesley brothers, the aristocratic Pataudis, the nourses, Edriches, Benauds, Mohammads, Pollocks, Chappells, Hadlees, Khans and Crowes. The end of the twentieth century saw the rise and rise of the Waugh twins and, to a lesser extent, the Flower and Lee brothers.""This book tells the stories of all these families, and many more. Coincidence, trivia, speculation, and intrigue are all here. So too are the highs and lows of sporting achievement, and the everyday dramas of family life. Featuring as many as 34 cricketing clans spanning over 150 years and eight countries, Famous Cricketing Families is a brilliant appraisal of a game that's got the family touch."We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
