I picked this up during the week - circa 1999 i think, autos are all on the bat (no facsimiles or sticker autos!) and have not faded at all. It came with the case which made for a very good deal indeed.
It is amazing how much the top 10 Test runs list has changed - only Border and Gavaskar are still in the top 10.
After the pics I've listed the up to date top 10.....makes for some interesting comparisons with the list of great names on the bat!!
Here's the top 10 list as at October 10, 2010:
1. Sachin Tendulkar (India) 1989- 14,017
2. Ricky Ponting (Australia) 1995- 12,178
3. Brian Lara (West Indies) 1990-2006 11,953
4. Rahul Dravid (India) 1996- 11,581
5. Allan Border (Australia) 1978-1994 11,174
6. Jacques Kallis (South Africa) 1995- 11,126
