ABC of Australian Cricket

From Ken Piesse, Australian cricket's unriballed master storyteller, comes a quirky A-Z compendium of tall tales and true. This smile-on-your-dial cricket dictionary is filled with lists, laughs, sledges, legends and larrikins from every level of cricket: the boy who saved Shane Warne from drowning, the noted stonewaller who played boogie-woogie piano, the Test paceman who bowled in bloomers, the 73-year-old who played first grade, the farmer run out for 99 after his artificial leg fell off. Featuring a foreword by Scott Boland - who became an overnight Ashes hero with his fairytale six for seven on debut in December 2021 - Ken Piesse's ABC of Australian Cricket also includes a fascinating selection of images from the author's extensive private collection.
