Full of brigands and bogans, legends and sledgends, Legends of the Baggy Green is an acerbic commentary on the codes and manners of cricket behaviour. Part social history, part blooper tape, this book takes sports comedy back to where it all began. The sins of modern cricket-sledging, chucking, match-fixing, plus the heinous practice of putting the ball in the freezer to make it bounce higher - are all here, along with a rogues' gallery that includes everyone from 'Horseshoe' Herby Collins to Salim 'The Rat' Malik. From the watermelon presented to Syd Gregory to the brown paper bag full of cash that was given to the late Hansie Cronje, there is full disclosure in Legends of the Baggy Green, as well as comment on the commentators who have observed cricket's transit from Lord's to Hollywood, and from the Gabbatoir to the Elysian, desalinated fields of Sharjah. The outburst by 'Oo-ah' Glenn McGrath in the West Indies in 2003 put cricket behaviour on front pages all over the world. As is usual with McGrath, women sighed, men admired and boofheads fumed, but what was really going on? What the hell has happened to the game we loved and respected? There is ample scope for both humour and criticism here, and playwright, satirist and genuine cricket 'tragic' Alex Buzo has sharpened his pen to provide plenty of both.

The personal stories behind one of Australia's most beloved sporting icons - the baggy green. Australian Test players, past and present, open up about the road from their backyards to the baggy green. Breathe in the mowed grass and linseed oil as they take their first steps to glory. Share with them the euphoria of their cap presentations. Immerse yourself in the wonder of Test triumphs and the despair of being dropped form the team. In sharing the players' stories - and disclosing how treasured Australian caps are kept under lock and key, in dank cupboards and stuffed in undies drawers - Jesse Hogan takes you inside their lounge rooms as well as cricket's dressing rooms. Their stories contain salutary lessons for the game's future. As such, this is a conversation about Australian cricket as much as it is a chat with its best players. And at its heart is the unifying force of the cap, under which all players are equals, no matter if they've played 168 Tests like Steve Waugh, or one like Bryce McGain. What began as a passion project for sports journalist Jesse Hogan and cricket agent Simon Auteri in 2015 - to interview Australian cricketers, past and present, on the significance of gaining their Test spots - became a story about the spirit of cricket and its power to bring us together. Just two weeks before the first draft was completed, tragedy struck. At the age of 33, Jesse Hogan suffered a devastating stroke that left him unable to speak, write or even walk. Following intensive rehabilitation and with immense support, Jesse made it back and finished the book with the help of fellow journalist Andrew Faulkner. For Cap and Country and its publication is about the importance of generosity, sportsmanship, perseverance and community to help us achieve our goals in life as much as in sport. Now cricket tragics like Jesse can finally enjoy these stories too.

Warne Worn written by Mike Coward and has been published by this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 2020-11-20 with Caps (Headgear) categories.
Warne Worn tells the story of how the Baggy Green cap - an enduring symbol of the Australian spirit - became a rallying point for the country's response to the devastating 'Black Summer' bushfires of 2019/20. Among many fundraising initiatives and acts of generosity around the country, Shane Warne's donation of his original Baggy Green for auction captured the imagination worldwide; eventually fetching a record of more than $1 million that was donated to the Red Cross Bushfire Appeal. The successful bidder was the Commonwealth Bank, which soon after established a national tour to give the public a rare opportunity to see the iconic headwear up-close, raising further money for local communities hit hardest by bushfires and drought. Warne's cap visited New South Wales, South Australia, Western Australia, the Northern Territory, Queensland and Victoria - including 'The Big Appeal' charity match at the Junction Oval, and the landmark ICC Women's T20 World Cup Final at the MCG - before the tour was abruptly paused due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Its final destination will be the Bradman Museum in Bowral, NSW, where Baggy Green no. 350 will sit among 21 others worn by the likes of Don Bradman, Adam Gilchrist and Belinda Clark. Warne Worn documents events of early 2020, from crisis to international response. The tale behind Warne's donation, and the high-stakes bidding that ensued, will be revealed; before the book reflects on the leg-spinner's decorated and eventful Test career in images and anecdotes. It then traces the CommBank Baggy Green Tour over its journey to Bowral, with stories of loss and hope from ravaged communities, and gestures of solidarity and generosity from around the country. The final section covers the Bradman Museum's 'Baggy Green Team', featuring career summaries of each player who wore a Test cap on display at the Museum; with concluding reflections on the enduring virtues - Australian spirit, resilience, mateship and inspiration - embedded in the fabric of a unique piece of sporting apparel. The project is an opportunity for the Foundation to raise money in support of aligned causes related to the bushfires (e.g. affected cricket clubs, communities in the Southern Highlands / regional NSW etc.

Peppered with bouncers, expletives, and even the odd diplomatic incident, this is a rip-roaring journey through over a century of Ashes history. For a list of every Ashes century and five-wicket haul, try Wisden, but if you want to know which England batsman was a martyr to syphilis and which Australian fast bowler reckoned the Queen had 'nice legs for an old Sheila', then read on... Stiff Upper Lips and Baggy Green Caps exposes the seamy side of Ashes cricket. It gives the inside story behind controversies from the Bodyline series of 1932-33 and the Lillee and Thomson blitzkrieg of 1974-75, right up to the unseemly modern spats that ensure that this biannual frenzy of backbiting, finger-pointing and dubious facial hair remains one of the great events of the sporting calendar.
