Mike Brearley's words sum up what Cricket's Greatest Battles is all about. Within these pages, two of England's finest players apply their expertise to illuminate the most momentous clashes between individuals in cricket's history. Peter Baxter, Nasser Hussain and Mike Brearley look at 21 classic battles, from Don Bradman facing the onslaught of Harold Larwood in 1932/33, to Michael Atherton going head to head with rampaging Allan Donald in 1998. The book begins with a brilliant discussion of cricket psychology by Mike Brearley. Each of the 21 games is beautifully described by the BBC's Peter Baxter. Finally, England captain Nasser Hussain analyses the motivations and tactics used by the protagonists in each battle.
