10 for 66 and All That is one of the most charming and characterful cricket books of the post-war era. Written and illustrated by Arthur Mailey—best remembered for his remarkable bowling figures of 10 wickets for 66 runs—the book blends memoir, humour, and sharp observational insight into the personalities of cricket’s golden years.
Rather than a conventional statistical or historical account, Mailey presents the game through stories, caricatures, and personal reflections, capturing the spirit of cricket in a way that is both entertaining and deeply nostalgic.
Figures such as Don Bradman and Monty Noble appear not as distant legends, but as vivid personalities brought to life through Mailey’s wit and pen.
The combination of:
- firsthand cricketing experience
- humour and anecdote
- original illustrations
makes this work particularly appealing to collectors seeking something beyond traditional cricket biographies.
Features original artwork by Arthur Mailey.
