“Kevin Douglas Walters came from Dungong, New South Wales, and at seventeen played Shield Cricket in the State team.  During his more than eighteen years in first-class cricket he so inspired his home-town crowd at the Sydney Cricket Ground that they erected their own stand on the Hill.
Here is the exciting story of a country boy who went from the ant-bed pitch on a dairy farm to discover the famous ‘ridge’ at Lord’s.  A quiet, modest man with a biting wit, Doug tells his story along with many anecdotes about the household names in the game.”
