Part of the Modern Sports series edited by Howard Marshall, Cricket by D. R. Jardine is a classic instructional and analytical text by one of cricket’s most controversial and cerebral figures — the England captain behind the infamous “Bodyline” strategy.
Jardine’s work explores every facet of the game, including batting, bowling, fielding, captaincy, and tactics, offering a masterclass in cricketing thought from one of its most strategic minds.
This edition, printed under the Book Production War Economy Standard, reflects post-war British publishing conditions and remains a fascinating collectible for cricket historians and readers interested in the evolution of cricket technique and strategy.
The 1946 revised edition is moderately scarce, particularly with its dustcover intact.
