As well as profiles, career highlights and statistics of the 25 greatest West Indies cricketers, all accompanied by superb photographs, the authors provide interesting insights into why cricket caught the imagination of the West Indian people; what makes the West Indian approach to the game unique; why the West Indies ruled the cricket world for two decades from 1975; and what are the causes of the present decline. Whether you agree with the authors' choice of the 25 or not, every cricket lover, autograph collector, and anyone interested in the Caribbean will want to have this book.
