Ranjitsinhji's 'Jubilee Book of Cricket' — The First Modern Cricket Manual, 1897
England, Sussex, India
1897-06-22
Published in June 1897 to coincide with Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee, Ranjitsinhji's Jubilee Book of Cricket was the most ambitious cricket manual ever produced and the first to be illustrated with photographs. Dedicated to the Queen, the 474-page volume codified Ranji's leg-glance technique, set out the first modern explanation of batting against pace and spin, and remained the definitive cricket coaching book for thirty years. Ranji's ghost-writer was the cricket journalist C.B. Fry.
