| All Out Cricket | All Out Cricket - issue 56 We all back ourselves to recognise a player, and we?re no different at AOC. We made KP a cover star before he?d played an England match, lauded Freddie before he went stratospheric, picked Broad out early, did the same with Anderson, Cook and Monty. You?ve got to, right? Now we?ve spied another superstar in the making: step forward Ravinder Bopara. This month?s cover story never felt like a risk because talent is unmistakable. Nasser Hussain asserts as much in his brilliant analysis of the relative merits of England?s batsmen, and of Ravi in particular. Nasser explains in these pages why there isn?t really a weakness in his game; it was good to hear the great man talk our language. We went to print on the very day that Bopara was named as England?s new number three. But if an exclusive with England?s next star doesn?t get you going, how about this lot: Michael Vaughan on batting for art and the art of batting; Ramnaresh Sarwan on the West Indian revival; Graeme Swann on angry treadmills; Graham Napier goes behind the lens at the IPL; Paul Nixon talks keeping and keeps talking, Rob Key unpicks pointless team-building exercises, Clare Connor eyes world domination, and AOC recreates a famous moment in cricket history using our favourite toys and some double-sided sticky. And that?s just for starters? Gather your mates around you and show them your unfailing generosity because we?ve also got a fantastic offer running this month. Simply give the voucher below your cricket-loving mates (copies are OK too!), and tell them to scurry off to the nearest WHSmith outlet to claim a quid off their own copy of AOC. Lovely! It?s going to be a huge summer, let?s have you all on board, eh?
