Selections of excellence are traditionally a Top 10. However, given Sir Tom Stoppard’s great love of cricket – which features in one of his most celebrated speeches – it seems fitting to choose a first XI among his works for stage, screen, TV and radio. There is no order of precedence: in cricket, any number on the card can be a gamechanger. (Most scripts are published by Faber; streaming details where available.)
