The art of batting : the craft of cricket's greatest run scorers

Kimber, Jarrod,


Most batters just do their best, yet the top players create art. This book is about the batters who see what mortals don’t. Their methods and stories are different, but their currency is the same: runs. Through interviews with cricketing greats such as David ‘Bumble’ Lloyd, Nasser Hussain, Rahul Dravid and Brian Lara, this book shows you the science, skill and culture that made the 50 greatest batters of all time – and, ultimately, how they conquered leather with willow.
