I just saw on your list that you do not have an image for David Lemmon's Cricket mercenaries. Maybe you can use this,

The old man picked up this for me at a second book store, which was very nice of him:



Has some very nice images, although colour photography has clearly come a long way.

Other than the Atherton and Flintoff books, I have read all the others and must compliment you on the selection.

Numbers 1, 3, 6 and 7 are absolutely fabulous books.

Welcome to the forum, I have only read four of those, 1,2,4 & 7, and enjoyed them all, I imagine 'Being Freddie' will be the 8th best on that list

Just finished 10 Great Innings by Ralph Barker. I enjoyed it very much. He describes the play in great detail - at times describing every run - and manages to convey the context, the atmosphere and the greatness of each innings.
