Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "More than 3000 men have appeared in Test cricket, from the inaugural Test played in March 1877 to today. To reduce this list to the best 100 is an imposing task, and one that is guaranteed to provoke argument among those with an eye for the game's history and its greatest players. For this revised and fully updated fourth edition of The 100 Greatest Cricketers, experienced sportswriter and publisher Geoff Armstrong has compared eras, analysed career records, sifted through fact and fiction, all to come up with this list of the best players of all time, ranked from one to 100. He has done so by selecting nine teams, and then nominated his favourite all-time player as the '100th man'. Each team includes two openers, three middle-order batsmen, an all-rounder, a wicketkeeper and four bowlers, at least one of whom is a spinner. The 100 Greatest Cricketers will give enormous pleasure to fans and generate endless debate as connoisseurs compile and compare their own lists of cricket's greatest ever players."--Back cover.
