Introduction


This list combines autobiographies and biographies. The possible exception is Brian Duncan's Crown King which is a combination of biography, advice, information and views from arguably the outstanding crown green bowler of all time. As such, its exclusion would be churlish, particularly as it's the only book in this section representing the crown green code.

Interestingly, the subjects of four of the 12 books are New Zealand bowlers.
