I should have been watching England play Test cricket on Friday but it didn't happen, so, instead, here's a selection of cricket annual to get you in the mood (!) for the Summer..
I think this is the first Denis Compton annual (1951)
Denis Compton's annual - 1952
Denis Compton's annual - 1953
Denis Compton's annual - 1955
Denis Compton's annual - 1956
Denis Compton's annual - 1957
So as well as Denis Compton being famous enough to have a series of annuals published I wondered what other cricketers might have had this privilege conferred on them...
Sadly I'm not sure the equivalent annual exists today, so no annual for Kevin Pietersen, Ben Stokes or Joe Root any time soon I fear :(
One last one though, this one (from 1980) not apparently featuring Ian Botham at all...

Have I missed any other annuals - can you help? I'd also be interested in cricket strips, again, details welcomed
Update...David Gower liked the tweet I put out about the above annuals - yay!
