Cricket Crisis by J.D. McGlew is an important and increasingly sought-after account of the controversial M.C.C. cricket tour to Southern Africa in 1964–65, written by former South African captain Jackie McGlew. Published in Cape Town by Howard Timmins in 1965, this first edition provides a contemporary insider’s perspective on one of the most politically and sportingly significant cricket tours of the apartheid era.
Cricket Crisis covers the tensions, personalities, matches and off-field controversies surrounding the M.C.C. visit, making it an essential title for collectors of South African cricket history, sports books, and Africana. With an introduction by Denis Compton, the work also offers valuable commentary on the state of South African cricket in the mid-1960s. Copies with the original dust jacket are becoming increasingly difficult to find.
Condition – Very Good
In original dust jacket. Dust jacket is heavily worn and rubbed with chipping and small losses to edges and spine ends. Green cloth boards remain sound and presentable. Foxing present to preliminaries and scattered through the text. Binding remains firm and complete.
