Sussex County Cricket is a concise yet authoritative county history written by Sir Home Gordon, who served as President of Sussex County Cricket Club in the immediate post-war years. First published in 1950, the book forms part of Convoy’s respected County Cricket Series, produced at a time when English county cricket was rebuilding its identity after World War II.
 
The volume traces the development of Sussex cricket from its formative years through to the mid-20th century, blending institutional history with player profiles, notable matches, and reflections on the county’s traditions. Gordon writes with the perspective of an administrator deeply embedded in the club, offering insight into governance, continuity, and the cultural importance of county cricket within English sporting life.
 
Illustrated with black-and-white photographic plates, the book captures Sussex players, grounds, and moments that define the county’s character. While not a statistical compendium, it serves as a narrative snapshot of Sussex cricket as it stood at the dawn of the modern era.
 
County cricket histories from the late 1940s–early 1950s were typically produced in modest print runs for members, libraries, and enthusiasts rather than mass markets.
