CAPTAIN AUSTRALIA A History of the Celebrated Captains of Australian Test CricketBy Roland Perry
Ever since Test cricket began, the positon of Australian captain has been the top sporting job in the country. It has had enormous prestige, and has been held by men more popular than any governor, state leader or prime minister . . . . From the first Test played by Australian cricketers in 1877, to the brilliant Test successes of the 2000-01 season, Captain Australia reveals the remarkable stories of the men who have held Australia's top cricketing position. From the wit and wherewithal of Will Murdoch in 1890, to the determination of battling Allan Border in 1990; from the winning ways of the imposing Warwick Armstrong, to those of captain Steve Waugh, eight years apart, each Australian cricket captain has been an individual of the highest calibre, with his own unique style. Captain Australa explores the career highs and lows and captures the colour and character of each captain - from the inspirational cricketers, such as Viv Richardson and his grandson Ian Chappell; to the quiet achievers, such as Billy Woodfull and Bobby Simpson; to the supreme skills and dominance of Sir Donald Bradman. Roland Perry, autghor of bestselling cricket biographies, also reveals in Captain Australia the extraordinary story of the first ever Australian team to tour England - a team of Aboriginal cricketers. This story was read and admired so much by the late Sir Donald Bradman that is inspired his last public wish - to set up the Bradman Memorial Fund for the promotion and encouragement of cricket in disadvantaged and indigenous communities.
