Final Wicket: Test and First Class Cricketers Killed in the Great War
At the start of the twentieth century cricketers had an iconic status akin to that of today’s football players. With the outbreak of the Great War, thousands of men answered the call to arms including Test and First-Class cricketers. In Final Wicket, author Nigel McCrery reveals the lives, sporting careers, and deaths of 275 top class cricketers including those from Empire countries, who between 1914 -1918 were killed alongside their lesser known comrades.
