MCGILVRAY ~ THE GAME IS NOT THE SAME . . .

As Told to Norman Tasker

Hard to Find Out of Print Book

For many Australians the sound of Alan McGilvray's voice on ABC Radio has been synoymous for decades with the start of the cricket season and the Australian summer. He has been Australia's best known commentator and has been much decorated for his contribution to the country's sporting life and entertainment.

When McGilvray made his last Test match broadcast from the Sydney Cricket Ground in 1985 the Australian Prime Minister, Bob Hawke, made a speech of farewell. Years earlier another Australian Prime Minsiter, Sir Robert Menzies, a connoisseur of the game, had also complimented McGilvray publicly on his commentary style. The man who made such an impression on cricket lovers, Prime Ministers and players alike has now put his memoirs and opinions into this book which surveys the game's high points and outstanding players.

His recollections of famous innings and famous events make marvellous reading not only for devotees of the game but also for those who are interested in changing the nature of sport in society.
