Small blue cricket fixture books

[James88]

Hi everybody,

In the early-1980s in Victoria, I remember getting, for at least one cricket season, a small blue fixture book that listed the international and domestic cricket matches for the summer.

Does anyone out there remember these little blue books and, if so, do you recall who published them or what they were actually called?

Any guidance would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks and kind regards - James

Are you perhaps thinking of the Victorian Cricket Association handbooks? They had a blue tinge about them.

Is that Yallop on the cover? It would seem unlikely given the season.

Thanks for this. I am investigating the VCA fixture books from years ago.

The books I have in mind have fully blue front and back covers. I also think there was a small monogram on the front cover, rather than an action shot. It's possible the design of the fixture books changed from the early- to the mid-1980s ...
