The result is Declarations, an unrivalled anthology of thoughts and opinions from influential figures in world cricket, gleaned from a series of penetrating and perceptive interviews. Murphy talked in depth to Test players from England, Australia, India, Pakistan, New Zealand and the West Indies, including eleven current or former Test captains. He interviewed international stars of the past, like Tony Greig and Dennis Lillee, and of the future, such as Graeme Hick. The players speak out frankly about their careers, their opponents, the rights and wrongs of world cricket and its politics. They make this book the most significant cricket book of the year.
