ABSTRACT
One of Arthur's sporting contemporaries was K.S. Ranjitsinhji, an Indian prince who used the cricket bat to produce fleeting moments of wonder and lasting memories of beauty. During the summer of 1899 he beat the scoring record of the legendary W. G. Grace by accumulating 3,000 runs over the season. In Beyond a Boundary Trmidadmn Marxist C.L.R. James leaves the reader in no doubt as to the elevated status and place 'Ranji' held - and still holds - within the sport. He was revered by followers of cricket throughout the British Empire. He is irremovable from the pantheon of Great Names of Cricket.
