Overview

"Compiled by one of Australia's most respected cricket writers, this is a readable and informative collection of anecdotes covering the highlights, evolution, and legends of Australian cricket at home and abroad. Ranging from the game's evolution in Australia in the mid-19th century to the 1995/96 season. The 350 anecdotes cover all the great figures of Australian cricket: Victor Trumper, ""Demon"" Spofforth, Clarrie Grimmett, Stan McCabe, Donald Bradman, Richie Benaud, the Chappells, Allan Border, Merv Hughes, and Shane Warne. Every Test series in which Australia competed anywhere in the world is touched on - including the remarkable Aboriginal tour of 1862 that preceded the inaugural Ashes contest by 14 years."
