ACS Overseas First-Class Annual 2009

But I must not close without a heartfelt tribute to Peter Griffiths and Philip Bailey. Not only did Peter and Philip generously allow full and free access to the wealth of information on CricketArchive; they set up the scores, patiently dealt with my ideas and proposals (most of which entailed extra work for them), freely volunteered invaluable feedback and advice, and selflessly supplied the expertise and sheer hard work that have allowed this first edition of the Annual to appear. What is the difference between their contribution and mine? It is simply stated. They could have done this without me. I could not have begun to do it without them.
