For a great deal of the 1930s, Don Bradman was considered the most famous sportsman in the world. By any measure – stats, acclaim – it appeared to be a straightforward decision. The same could be argued for Mohammad Ali in the 1960s or Lionel Messi in the 2010s. But when, exactly, did they take their titles, from whom, and when did their reigns come to an end? For boxers it might be possible to narrow it down to the actual date, but for other sportsmen – and women – it is more difficult. Athletes have been feted for their sporting prowess since ancient times, and since the advent of professional sport in the early 18th Century there have been champions celebrated throughout the world. This book aims to give a clearer idea of who was – at any point in time – the greatest athlete in the world – even if the world was unaware of it at the time.

Picking the Perfect Cricket Team

By: Benedict Bermange

A cricket statistician shares his list of the greatest players of all time, and invites you to create your own imaginary team. Everyone loves to rank sportsmen, and what fan hasn’t enjoyed picking their own teams and playing imaginary matches, using dice, cards, table-top games or computers? When it comes to cricket, countless generations of fans have argued at the school playground, dinner table, pub garden, or international match about who were the greatest players of all time. In this book players are ranked, split according to their roles. Openers, middle-order batsmen, all-rounders, wicket-keepers, fast bowlers, and slow bowlers are all selected in the same proportions in which they make up a team. In a game awash with numbers, every cricket fan knows what 99.94 and 501 relate to. Some of the numbers explored here transcend the game itself and have become part of cricket’s long historical narrative. Everyone’s list is different—so let the debates begin!
