Book Description
They're the moments that make up Australian sporting folklore, the iconic events that stand out in Australia's collective sporting memory long after the match details have become a blur. Remember Shane Warne's ball of the century? Or Steve Waugh's century off the last ball? Where were you when John Dyson took his outfield catch? Or Ellyse Perry celebrated an Ashes double century - twice? How about Adam Gilchrist walking in a World Cup semi-final? Or Dennis Lillee kicking Javed Miandad? Steve Harmison's wide? Peter Siddle's birthday hat trick? Underarm?

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.
