About The Author
Scott Oliver
Scott Oliver turned to freelance features writing in 2012 after completing an arduous PhD on Peronist Argentina – mainly about sport, although he has written on culture and politics for the Guardian, the New European, New Statesman, VICE and others. A regular contributor of football longforms to The Blizzard, Mundial and The Ringer, cricket is nevertheless his first love. He has written hundreds of pieces on a multitude of topics – some about the superstar overseas pros featured in this book – for ESPNcricinfo, Cricbuzz, the Cricketer and Wisden Cricket Monthly, for whom he has been club cricket correspondent since its 2017 re-launch, compiling the much-loved “Club Cricket Hall of Fame” series. This is his first book.
