Known affectionately as Tangles for his unorthodox bowling action, Walker was a beloved member of the Australian Test cricket teams of the 1970s, and this collection — assembled with sportswriter Mike Coward — presents the funniest, most entertaining anecdotes and observations from a career spent at the highest level of the game. From dressing-room larrikinism to on-field absurdity, the book chronicles the lighter side of elite sport with warmth, irreverence, and an unmistakably Australian wit.\n\nBeyond the laughs, The Wit of Walker offers a fascinating window into a golden era of Australian cricket, illustrating the camaraderie, characters, and culture that defined the sport during one of its most competitive and colourful periods. Walker's voice — sharp, self-deprecating, and thoroughly unpretentious — is expertly complemented by Coward's seasoned sportswriting, giving the book both comic energy and genuine insight. For fans of cricket, Australian sport, or simply great storytelling, this is a volume that reminds us that genius and humour are not mutually exclusive — and leaves you wondering what other secrets Tangles has yet to tell.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50572643041499,"sku":"2026200018678-SECONDHAND","price":15.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/2747a3e9-951f-489a-9a95-489439d40aaf.png?v=1791167106","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200018678-secondhand-the-wit-of-walker","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
