ROLAND PERRY’S NEW BOOK
Great Achievers & Characters in Australian Cricket is a comprehensive look at Australian cricket’s most notable players and dramas throughout the ages, Roland Perry gives readers insight into the career highs and lows of many of the game’s biggest names and provides his take on what went on behind the scenes in some of the biggest stories to ever hit Australian cricket.
This includes tales of:
* the turbulent life of the late Shane Warne
* the wit, wisdom and genius of Sir Donald Bradman
* the skill, mentality and character behind Pat Cummins’ new-look captaincy
* the elegance and style of Australia’s premier female cricketer, Ellyse Perry
* The speed and chivalry of Dennis Lillee, the first person to suggest a breakaway cricket competition which grew into Kerry Packer’s World Series Cricket
* Steve Waugh; the most admired leader in world cricket at a time when the sport’s image plummeted due to match-fixing revelations
* The guile of Richie Benaud, the all-rounder with attitude and bucketloads of media savvy
It is available from me at $40 including post. I expect copies in mid November
