From the earliest days of Test cricket, the game has been dominated by notable families. From the 1870s to the turn of the twentieth century there were the Walkers, Bannermans, Graces, Gregorys, Hearnes, Gunns, Fosters and Trotts. Then came the princely clan of Ranji and Duleep, the Tyldesley brothers, the aristocratic Pataudis, the Nourses, Edriches, Benauds, Mohammads, Pollocks, Chappells, Hadlees, Khans and Crowes. The end of twentieth century saw the rise and rise of the Waugh twins and, to a lesser extent, the Flower and Lee brothers. This book tells the stories of all of these families, and many more. Coincidence, trivia, speculation and intrigue are all here. So too are the highs and lows of sporting achievement, and the everday dramas of family life.
