Overview

Unveiling cricket’s greatest entertainer! The first Australian cricketer to play 100 internationals across all three levels (Tests, ODIs and T20s), David Warner is a champion of his generation; fabulous but flawed. No Australian opener in history has surpassed his rapid-fire strike rate in excess of 70 runs per 100 balls. Only one other has surpassed his aggregate of 45 centuries across all levels. Feisty, flamboyant, verbose and villainous, few have been as entertaining or as polarising as the great David Warner. The Bull is the first full-scale biography of one of Australian cricket’s champions of the generation. It features the yarns, the stats and all the fun of cricket’s greatest entertainer.

'The Bull is impeccably told with a great insight and understanding demonstrating Piesse's acute cricketing knowledge...' - Barry Nicholls, Australian Cricket Digest 'Warner's story is something quite out of the ordinary, a contradiction: maddening and yet transfixing.' - David Frith, The English Cricketer magazine 'Warner emerges as rather more than the one-dimensional arch-sledger that he can sometimes seem to be...' - Richard Lawrence, Association of Cricket Statisticians (UK) 'No longer am I polarised by Warner. I understand him now. This is a roller-coaster journey like no other.' - Mark Browning, Pavilion magazine

Author Information

Born the year the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) Test wicket was illegally watered, author and commentator Ken Piesse is Australian cricket’s master storyteller, who has written, edited or published 87 books on the summer game, including Cricket’s Colosseum, 125 years of Test Cricket at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. Ken was president of the Australian Cricket Society from 2006-22. He works for P & O telling stories, tall and true, on cricket and football. He is also a proud member of the Mt Eliza fifth XI on the Mornington Peninsula, and occasionally his very loopy leg-breaks land. In one breakout ‘C’ section match in the Australian Over 60s National Championships in Perth in 2016–17, his 40 (retired) came at better than a run-a-ball. His Pictorial History of Australian Test Cricket (2016 for Echo/Bonnier) was recognised as the Australian cricket book of the year. He is the author of the bestselling book, On Ya Warnie.
