Arlott & Trueman on Cricket brings together two of the most recognisable and influential voices in English cricket — John Arlott and Fred Trueman — in a volume that combines analysis, instruction, anecdote and cricketing philosophy.
 
Published in 1977 to accompany the BBC Further Education television series of the same name, the book captures the distinct personalities and perspectives of its contributors. Arlott, the poetic broadcaster and cricket essayist, provides thoughtful, reflective commentary on the game’s traditions, tactics and spirit. Trueman, one of England’s greatest fast bowlers and later a forthright commentator, contributes practical insight drawn from elite playing experience.
 
Edited by Gilbert Phelps, the volume blends instructional material with discussion of technique, strategy and cricketing character, making it both a companion to the televised programme and a standalone cricket text of lasting interest.
