The Cricketer Magazine November 2017 Edición anterior

England face a daunting challenge in Australia, and we at The Cricketer have also strived to do the Ashes justice with a magnificent magazine this month. We have called up some great guest writers, introduced several new regular features, and packed in 16 extra pages for your delectation at no extra cost to you. In those extra pages, Gideon Haigh starts a brilliant new monthly column called The Window, in which he selects and describes a memorable picture from the past. In From the Archive, we raid The Cricketer’s rich 96-year-old back catalogue for choicest nuggets, written and visual; editor Simon Hughes probes famous players’ techniques in The Analyst; and in County Cricket in 100 Objects, Huw Turbervill selects iconic images of our domestic game and delves into their significance.
The Ashes is the biggest show in town, and we reflect that with a super 30-page section – it contains all you need to know on the players, venues, start times and so on… plus Michael Vaughan has given us a lively interview on a variety of Ashes-related topics, including the captaincy battle. Celebrated Australian scribe Malcolm Knox looks at the state of play down under, Gideon Haigh focuses on the Bodyline series, David Frith recalls an extraordinary selection meeting with John Arlott and EW Swanton in 1977, plus in Ivo on Ivo, Tennant recalls Ashes ‘daddy’ Bligh.
If that is not enough, we have an interview with Eoin Morgan; Pat Murphy recalls his 35 memorable years of cricket reporting for the Beeb; and Jamie Porter tells us how he spearheaded the title triumph of Essex. Simon Wilde writes on how Test durations have varied over the years, and Mayor of Greater Manchester Andy Burnham tells us why he loves cricket.
