Welcome To All Out Cricket Issue No.28
Issue 28 of AOC hits the shelves this month with the ferocity of an armour-piercing square cut. And with most of the editorial team down under cheering on Super Fred and his men, we’ve invited an old friend to give us a hand in getting the job done. Darren Gough, star of the outfield and dance floor, jumped (twirled and dipped) at the chance to become AOC’s inaugural guest editor. You can read what he thinks about the game in general; who will be stars in the future and who he rates among his contemporaries and peers.
Alastair Cook
Born on December 25, 1984, England opener Alastair Cook delivered his own version of a Christmas cracker in the form of a brilliant readers Q&A. And he pulls no punches in revealing his ‘Essex boy’ heart, being coached by the great Derek Randall and his own ‘crazy streak’. It’s a must read.
Top Ten Mavericks
There have been countless colourful characters to grace our game over the years, entertaining fans both on and off the field with their misdemeanours, brain waves and flights of personal fancy. At AOC Towers, we like to run a tidy ship, so we’ve collated and rated the top ten cricketing mavericks of all time. From Geoffrey Boycott to Jeff Thompson, you can relive the highs and lows of these men dancing to their own tune.

Do you know your ‘Pica’s’ from your ‘Cats’… Or your averages from your anagrams? If not, its time to brush up on your anglo/aussie awareness as we bring you The Great Big Fat Ashes Quiz!
