Synopsis
The outbreak of the Second World War came towards the closing stages of the 1939 cricket season. 'Hitler permitted us almost to complete an exceptionally interesting season, ' Sir Home Gordon, wrote in the Cricketer magazine, 'When shall we see the stumps pitched again?'
As the West Indies touring team cancelled their last five matches and sailed home before the U-boat threat developed, the treasures at Lord's, including the Ashes, were sent to a secret location for safe-keeping. The Marylebone Cricket Club cancelled its tour to India - England played under the MCC banner then.
During the ensuing conflict twelve test cricketers (five English, two South Africans, one Australian and one New Zealander) perished together with 130 first class players. In this superbly researched sequel to Final Wicket, covering cricketing fatalities during The Great War, this book reveals each man's career details, including cricketing statistics, and the circumstances of death. There is also a brief history of the game during the War.
Arguably the period between the two world wars was the golden age of cricket, and this book honours those who made it so only to die serving their countries in a different way.
