What does it take to be the best?

This book has selected the 25 greatest cricketers of all time. It will take you on a step-by-step guide through their cricket careers, starting with their childhood, and then taking you through their illustrious cricket careers, making sure to highlight all of the countless records that they set along the way.

Being called one of the GOATs (Greatest Of All Time) is a very big claim to make and there are many factors that must be ticked for a player to even be considered in this bracket. It is not just the number of runs scored over their career, or the number of sixes they hit (although for most of these players, these stats are nothing short of brilliant), but it is also about their ability to be a great leader on the team, to step up in the big games, and to leave a legacy upon the great sport of cricket.

All of these factors have been carefully analyzed to select 25 players that have shone above the rest, ranging from players of the early 1900s to players that are still playing today.

This book also contains a glossary, defining any cricket lingo or abbreviations that may be confusing, making it suitable for kids who already know everything about cricket and those who are also new to the game.

Learning about the best of the best is crucial to becoming a better cricketer yourself. Who knows? Maybe in the future you will be replacing one of these cricketers as a legend yourself.

Suitable for kids aged eight and up.
