Australia holds a unique place in the global scheme of fandom. Much of the media consumed by Australian audiences originates from either the United States or the United Kingdom, yet several Australian productions have also attracted international fans in their own right. This first-ever academic study of Australian fandom explores the national popular culture scene through themes of localization and globalization. The essays within reveal how Australian audiences often seek authentic imports and eagerly embrace different cultures, examining both Hollywood’s influence on Australian fandom and Australian fan reactions to non-Western content. By shining a spotlight on Australian fandom, this book not only provides an important case study for fan studies scholars, it also helps add nuance to a field whose current literature is predominantly U.S. and U.K. focused.

Cricket fans, where were you during the disaster that was the 2013 Ashes? Adam Zwar was making a documentary about bodyline and filming a stunt that involved Brett Lee bowling bouncers to him while he wasn't wearing a helmet. Matthew Hayden warned him not do it. But the cameras were set up. What was he going to do - say no? How about when Australia A nearly upset Australia in the 1995 World Series Cup and the players were rebelling against officials? Adam was working as a driver for an escort agency in Melbourne. Or Australia v India in 2001? That was when Adam was stuck in a hotel with AC/DC. For all the significant moments in Adam's life, cricket was in the background - or foreground. And you don't need to be a fan of cricket to be able to relate, because we all remember where we were when something important happened, whether that's a cricket test, an album release or a TV show ending. Twelve Summers is hilarious, moving and thought provoking. Even if you aren't a fan of cricket, you'll find a lot to love in this book.

From the bestselling author of Grease Monkey Jive comes a rollercoaster rock–and–roll ride of confronting fears, making music, and learning to be true. Rielle Mainline is a rock star with a hardcore image, a troubled heart, and a twenty–five–city tour to front with her band, Ice Queen. She should be ecstatic. But the tour includes Sydney and Rielle has spent years running away from that city. Jake Reed knows Rielle's reputation as a prize bitch will make being Ice Queen's tour manager a challenge, but Jake's confident he can handle her – until he meets her. Then he's off–balance, not sure if he wants to run as fast as he can towards or away from her. Sparks fly, tempers flare, and two loners are about to discover that being alone isn't the same as being lonely.

No one is better placed than Bob Simpson to comment on how cricket has changed over the last half a century. The prodigy who played first-class cricket for NSW as a sixteen year old is the only post-war Australian cricketer whose Test- match career has spanned more than twenty years. He captained his country on 39 occasions, then as an innovative coach he masterminded the Australian cricket resurgence of the Border/Taylor years. At other times he has been a journalist, commentator, promoter, coaching consultant and match referee. Simpson has always been a close observer of the game and the men who make it. In Simmo: Cricket Then and Now, Bob fondly recalls many wonderful characters such as Keith Miller, Richie Benaud, Bill Lawry, Wes Hall, Merv Hughes, Allan Border and Steve Waugh - and offers strong opinions on some of the major issues confronting cricket, including illegal-action bowlers, the state of one-day cricket, umpiring standards and the future of today's Australian team. He also analyses why the quality of pace bowling and catching has declined in the past decade, while paying hearty tributes to 21st-century champions such as Shane Warne, Ricky Ponting, and Andrew Flintoff. Simmo: Cricket Than and Now is a timely and fascinating study of cricket over the past 50 years, and a revealing portrait of one of the game's finest players and most enduring personalities.

From facing the old foe, England, to a World Cup campaign, Australia's cricket captain charts his year ... In 2006-07, Ricky Ponting's Australian team achieved the first Ashes clean sweep in 86 years, an experience Ponting described as 'the best of my cricketing life'. It featured stunning performances from men such as Shane Warne, Adam Gilchrist and Andrew Symonds, while the captain himself drew comparisons with Bradman following his hundreds in the opening two tests.Yet, immediately afterwards, the Australians produced an even more commanding performance at the World Cup in the Caribbean. Not even the bizarre ending to the final againstSri Lanka, in near darkness after officials misinterpreted the playing conditions, could hide the fact that this victory was one of the most dominant in Australian sporting history.It was a season of triumph, but also the last for some of Ponting's great teammates - Warne, Glenn McGrath, Justin Langer and Damien Martyn - and coach John Buchanan, who all announced their retirements.In Captain's Diary 2007, Ponting pays tribute to these men, and in doing so reveals why they, and the team he is privileged to captain, are so special.

The inspirational story of the past, present and future of Australian women’s football – its players, fans, and the game they love. Australian women’s football rides high on the sporting landscape now, but this book shows that success has been one-hundred years in the making. It shares stories of triumph in the face of overwhelming odds, and tales of heartbreak and obstacles that seem insurmountable. But it is also about community, endurance and collective success. Eye-opening and celebratory, it tells the story of amateur women kicking a ball around a century ago to Australia’s national team being one of the best in the world. The Matildas are forty years old and no longer have to wear hand-me-down men’s kits, pay for their own medical insurance and do it all for love not money. But there have been no free kicks along the way as they have faced prejudice and even outright hostility. Never Say Die takes in dusty archives, rainy pitch-side evenings and heart-breaking and heart-warming interviews — including with FIFA and FFA board members, Matildas past and present, W-League coaches and players, state and club administrators. But at its heart are fans from every level of the game who could not love it more. 'Never Say Die is the book the women’s game has been waiting for. Crawford and McGowan bring stories from across a century of football into one place to highlight a rich, remarkable, previously uncaptured history.' — Craig Foster

In Rhino, cricketer Ryan Harris and co-authors Stephen Gray and Jason Phelan chart Ryan’s career from the years spent as a fringe player in South Australia to the behind-the-scenes stories from the Australian Test team and what it took to get there. As a raw-boned fast bowler just out of his teens, Ryan Harris was plucked from suburban grade cricket in 2000 and contracted to play for South Australia’s Redbacks. But by 2007 he was the last Redbacks player to be offered a contract. He realised that it was now or never if he wanted his cricket career to flourish. A bumper summer, followed by a switch to Queensland, saw him catapulted into the Australian ODI team in 2009 and then, in 2010, he made his Test debut and received his prized baggy green cap. Along the way, he won an IPL title with the Deccan Chargers. With injury a constant companion, it took almost four years for Ryan to make 16 Test appearances, although they netted him an impressive 71 Test wickets at an average of just over 22. Then followed a remarkable 12 months where the tin man became the iron man. In all he played 12 out of 13 Tests, a remarkable effort considering the curse of injuries that had previously restricted him. He was the Man of the Series despite England retaining the Ashes at home in mid-2013, then a key member of the triumphant Australian team that reclaimed the venerable urn at the end of that year in a crushing clean sweep. Success followed him in South Africa too, and, after bowling Australia to a crucial series win against the Proteas in 2014, he was hailed as a hero by cricket lovers worldwide. His last Test heroics came at a price though, with the lion-hearted Harris undergoing major knee surgery that once again put his career in jeopardy, as he gritted his teeth and began another long fight back. ‘You ask him to bowl ... he’s got no energy left ... his body is killing him ... he will find a way to take a wicket for us. As captain you can’t ask for more.’ Michael Clarke ‘... one of the finest bowlers seen in Australia since at least the turn of the century.’ The Sydney Morning Herald
