From Test matches to social knocks - from Lord's to the concrete driveway and the triumphs of the Don. From drama to biography, from eulogy to satire and from anecdote to analysis, this book looks at the game of cricket: from an examination of the memories of Dennis Lillee, Jeff Thomson and Glenn Turner to the poetry of Clive James and Nicholas Hasluck. This book doesn't attempt to provide a definitive history of Australian cricket, but rather illuminate its many facets and angles. Cricket writing from the days of Jack Fingleton and Arthur Mailey to the hard-bitten approaches of Bobby Simpson and Ian Chappell is included.
