“In Great Australian Cricket Stories, some champion players – including Richie Benaud, Steve Waugh, Arthur Morris, Bill Brown and Ian Chappell – appear alongside a cast of amazing characters that features fans, journalists, administrators, groundsmen and scorers.  Marks offers his own angle on the cricket media, focusing on the Channel Nine and ABC Radio commentators.  He’s provocative, comparing the 1948 Invincibles to the superb Australian team of today in a way that might surprise you, while his yarns about umpires confirm that they are a strange and unique breed.”
