"Boon" is the story of Tasmania's most beloved cricketing hero, David Clarence Boon, Australia's premier batsman. Recognized at an early age, Boon, graduated from the juniors to represent his home state at the age of 17, hitting the winning run in his first match. However, his rise to Test match cricket was far from an easy one. "Boon" concentrates on David's early pitfalls - his battle with English spinner John Emburey, omission from the Test team, his controversial suspension, and just how close he came to crossing the water to play for Victoria. David offers his observation on recent Test series, and on some of cricket's most notable players: Malcolm Marshall, Ian botham, Wasim Akram, David Gower, the Waugh twins, and many others. Fellow players and watchers have their say on DC Boon, too.
