Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Black Swan Summer tells the extraordinary story of Western Australia's first season of Sheffield Shield cricket, when an unheralded group of unknown, unfashionable and inexperienced players won Australian cricket's biggest prize at their first attempt. But it's more than just a story of an upset result in a cricket competition. It's a chronicle of the summer in which Don Bradman scored his 100th century, India toured Australia for the first time and the country plunged into political turmoil - which not everyone noticed, because they were at the cricket. The book explains the connections between men who returned from war to play cricket, the fear of communism, Mahatma Gandhi, rationing, Keith Miller, Laurence Olivier and Vivien Leigh, Ray Lindwall's back foot and a boxer called the Alabama Kid. Drawing on the personal reminiscences of the last three surviving cricketers from the 1947/48 season, it brings that hot, wet summer vividly to life. Black Swan Summer tells the amazing story of Western Australia's first season in the Sheffield Shield, when a group of unknown, unfashionable and inexperienced players won Australian cricket's biggest prize at their first attempt. It's also a chronicle of a remarkable hot, wet tumultuous summer in which cricket - and Australia - changed for ever.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Late in 1930, a cricket team from the West Indies visited Australia for the first time. It arrived at precisely the time when Australias modern iconography was being forged: Don Bradman was in the ascendant, Phar Lap dominated the racetrack, Nellie Melba returned home, Charles Kingsford Smith was breaking aviation records and the construction of the Sydney Harbour Bridge was nearing completion. A Long Way to Go follows the tourists journey around this vast, unfamiliar country which, battered by the Great Depression, may have been sliding into social and political chaos, but still managed to field the worlds most formidable cricket team.
