Welcome To All Out Cricket Issue No.36
When ICC boss Malcolm Speed said that the World Twenty20 tournament could prove to be the most important development in international cricket in 30 years; we thought he might just have a point.
To that end, we celebrate this brave new world. We've a cracking interview with one-day skipper Paul Collingwood, and talk to three young tyros who will form the backbone of the England side for many years to come, Ravi Bopara, Luke Wright and Stuart Broad.
Elsewhere, we bring you Test cricket's most brutal spells, we speak to Sir Ashley Giles about what happens next, we look back on an eventful Test series, and we've even found the time to put our marker down as to what constitutes the five best cricket books of all time.
And, of course, there's much more where all that came from. But no celebration of Twenty20 cricket is complete without tapping into the unique mind of the nation's favourite commentator. When David Lloyd, the man they call Bumble, invited AOC editor, Andy Afford, to his favourite Manchester boozer, we naturally sent a snapper up with him.
You can imagine the rest...
