One Test Wonders
Brian MurgatroydThe history of cricket is full of great players, great teams, great matches, great series and great seasons and those stories have been told countless times. But what about the tales of players who did not scale the heights of the legends of the game, players who scaled their own personal Everest by being picked for Test cricket, only to never be selected again?

Australia3 years ago - Fascinating Stories, well researched.
Very interesting stories from the nearly men of cricket and a great insight into the often shambolic running of the England team in the 80s and 90s in particular. Is there another series in the pipeline? Missing it already!

Test cricket is the greatest game on earth and to hear from people who only got to play one Test and are so appreciative for the opportunity is refreshing. Brian has done an incredible job of celebrating cricket careers that at a glance failed at the highest level but universally were very successful but timing and luck were just nit on their side.
