Great Cricketers I Watched in Wartime presents nostalgia and social history from 1944 to 1948, at a time in England when all cricketers were either amateurs or professionals.For cricket watchers there were three touring teams. First was India in 1946, a year before gaining independence from 300 years of British rule, then South Africa in 1947, a year before the policy of apartheid became law, and finally Australia came in 1948, to give England a thrashing on the cricket field.Cricket nuts will be absorbed, keeping Wisden always handy. Those sad souls who don't like the game may be intrigued by the narrative and the personalities.
