The Greatest of My Time (1968) is Trevor Bailey’s considered assessment of the finest cricketers he played with and against during one of the most competitive eras of post-war international cricket.
Rather than a straightforward autobiography, this book is a reflective and evaluative work. Bailey turns critic and historian, offering first-hand insights into the giants of mid-20th-century cricket.
Players from England, Australia, West Indies, and South Africa feature prominently, giving the book international scope.
