    Summary:

    In this entertaining book about the thrills and drama of Australian and International big-time cricket, Marsh answers some provocative questions. What does Marsh think of Kim Hughes? Why did Marsh retire from Test cricket? What drives Dennis Lillee? Which Chappell was the best leader? Marsh also reminisces candidly about the talents and foibles of the cricketers who dominated the international scene – Clive Lloyd, Botham, Imran Khan, Miandad, Richard Hadlee – and exposes the weakness of Australia’s international cricket. How did Zimbabwe manage to beat Australia’s finest? How long until South African money wrecks international cricket? But the game of cricket is not just a hard day under the hot sun. All cricketers, from social up to Test standard, know how to make the most of their time in the pavilion. In some of his most revealing and entertaining passages, Marsh proves that he was a champion off the field too.
