Author Description

Now in its 23rd year, this volume contains an entry for all players who played first-team cricket during the 2000 season and all those who are contracted to a first-class county for the 2001 season, including those who have yet to make a first-team appearance and new overseas players. There is a portrait photograph and a comprehensive statistics section for each cricketer plus the 2000 first-class batting and bowling averages and the PCA Awards. This year's 100-question quiz celebrates the first Ashes series of the 21st century by testing readers' knowledge of the Ashes series history of the last century and there is the usual mix of serious and light-hearted comment from the players themselves.
