Geoffrey Boycott:
If ever a defense seemed to be impenetrable it was that of legendary Yorkshireman Geoff Boycott when his mind used to fix on staying in. The features of his forward shots were the distance he managed to thrust forward behind a big left pad, how low his head used to be when searching for signs of movement from the ball, and its balance and compactness. In a prolific and somewhat controversial playing career from 1962 to 1986, Boycott established himself as one of England’s most successful opening batsmen. The legendary Englishman scored 22 Test tons where 10 matches were won and 12 were drawn.
