Neil Harvey: The Last Invincible is the first major biography of Australian cricketer Neil Harvey, the last living member of Donald Bradman’s 1948 Invincibles. Neil Harvey was one of Australia’s greatest left-handed batsmen and a prolific run scorer. He was the youngest member of Bradman’s famous team, the Invincibles, which toured England in 1948 and remained undefeated in their 34 matches. Representing Australia, Harvey’s stunning test career spans from his moment as the youngest Australian test cricketer to score a century, to vice-captain of the Australian team from 1957 until his retirement. Harvey played 79 Tests for Australia, making more than 6000 runs and 21 centuries. Bowlers rarely found a way of disrupting his concentration or curbing his attack. Harvey has been inducted into the Australian and ICC Cricket Hall of Fame, named in the Australian Test Team of the 20th Century and awarded a Medal of the Order of Australia. Now, for the first time, there is a full-length biography to capture the career and life behind this living legend. In Neil Harvey: The Last Invincible, biographer and former Australian test cricketer Ashley Mallett draws not only on Harvey’s own recollections but those of Australian and international cricketers, commentators and officials to bring to life his remarkable story.

In the twenty years since Allan Border retired as Australian cricket captain he's been one of the game's closest and most astute observers. His views on cricket - based on his experiences as a player, a captain, a selector and a commentator - are fascinating, forthright and informed by more than three decades of involvement at the game's highest level. In Cricket as I See It he gives us his wisdom and opinions on the game he loves - from epic Tests, the rising power of India, and the Twenty20 revolution, through to his thoughts on captaincy, and the essential arts of batting, bowling and sledging. He reflects on the great players and contests of his generation, as well as controversies such as the underarm bowling affair, the turbulent events that led to him shouldering the captaincy, the rebel tour of South Africa, Steve Waugh's dropping as one-day captain, and the divisive 'Monkeygate' scandal. With cricket, Allan calls it as he sees it, and the result is a book to be savoured and enjoyed by cricket lovers everywhere.

Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon them by virtue of their skills with ball and bat. This book is about the latter. Australia's favourite sport has a proud history of turning nobodies into somebodies and ordinary men and women into heroes of international renown. From the black-and-white belligerence of Ian Chappell to the colourful celebrity of Shane Warne, the diplomacy of Adam Gilchrist to the ruthlessness of Meg Lanning, the pantheon of Australia's greatest cricketers is as mottled as the crowds that cheer them on. But who is the greatest of them all? In The 50 Greatest Australian Cricketers, sports journalist and comedy writer Dan Liebke relives the careers, characteristics and enduring legacies of the finest Australian cricket players of the past 50 years.

Some of Australia's best-known cricketers relive their childhood summers of playing cricket in their backyards. Australia has dominated test cricket over the last 130 years. But it's not the formal cricket academies or high-end coaching that are responsible for the Australian cricket team's winning ways. the backyard has been the real academy of Australian cricket. Don Bradman's unique grip, stance and backlift all evolved in response to the pace at which the golf ball rebounded off the tank stand in his backyard games. Greg Chappell's trademark flick off the hip shot was invented on his backyard wicket where the best scoring opportunities lay on the leg side. Alan Davidson bowled accurately because he had to. If he missed the stumps on his home-made pitch, he had to chase the ball down the hill into the scrub. Doug Walters played spin with ease because his ant-bed backyard pitch spun like a top. Neil Harvey's immaculate footwork came from playing balls that darted viciously off the cobblestones in his back lane. this collection of cricketers and the stories of the backyards that made them gets to the heart and soul of their game. Facing up to hostile brothers on dodgy pitches created a love of competition and developed the skills and the toughness that took them to the top in test cricket.

A fascinating insight into the thoughts and experiences of the world's greatest cricketers, in their own words Clive Lloyd: "I really think that sportsmen have a chance of changing how the world thinks; how peoples in the world think about one another." Shane Warne: "To play and perform at your best as an individual is about being prepared, about happiness and feeling fresh. You've got to have a clear mind." Viv Richards: "If you are confident about what you are doing why not have a little strut about it?" Allan Border: "I can honestly say I never walked off the ground 100 per cent satisfied." Steve Waugh: "I think I developed the mental toughness to survive really." Joel Garner: "I think if you played cricket at the top for 10 years and you didn't have friends from the teams that you played against you'd have wasted 10 years of your life." Bill Lawry: "I had no philosophy. I wasn't that complicated. My attitude was to win at all costs and not to lose at all costs." Mahela Jayawardene: "I just want kids to enjoy the game. It's as simple as that. For while they are playing cricket they'll learn something in their life, something that might change their life." Champions takes you into the mind of some of the greatest cricketers that have ever played. With disarming honesty, they confront their fears and insecurities while reflecting on days of success and failure. A series of fascinating insights provide a rare study of the personality and philosophy of those who have always stood apart. The intellect and reasoning of the game's foremost exponents makes compelling reading.
