Author Description

Through the Covers is an off-beat collection of cricketing incidents that will engage, amuse and inform cricket fans everywhere. From local grounds to major sporting arenas, for as long as statistics have been part of the game these tales have been writing themselves. Who played in the most one-day internationals - almost 100 - before making his Test debut? Which Australian Prime Minister installed a television in his car so he would never miss the cricket? Who scored a century in a first-class match, but ended the game as twelfth man? Which Australian fast bowler plays in a rock band and was once headhunted by an American baseball club? Who has scored the most ducks in first-class cricket?
