CAPTAIN AUSTRALIA tells the remarkable story of each of the 41 Australian Test cricket captains, from the first Test Australia played in 1877 to the brilliant Test successes of the 2000-01 season. Roland Perry celebrates each Australian cricket captain and explores the role each Test skipper has played in shaping Australia's reputation as a great cricketing nation. From the wit and wherewithal of Will Murdoch in 1890, to the determination of battling Allan Border in 1990; from the winning ways of the imposing Warwick Armstrong, to those of current captain Steve Waugh, eighty years apart, each leader has been an individual of the highest calibre, with his own unique style. CAPTAIN AUSTRALIA explores the quirks and individualism of each captain; from the inspirational cricketers, such as Vic Richardson and his grandson Ian Chappell; to the quiet achievers, such as Billy Woodfull and Bobby Simpson; to the supreme skills and dominance of the late Sir Donald Bradman. CAPTAIN AUSTRALIA remembers the famous incidents of the captains' careers - such as the mock obituary notice, during Will Murdoch's captaincy in 1882, announcing the 'cremation' of English cricket, which led to the introduction of 'the Ashes' series - and the lesser known facts, such as the alternate careers each captain also had to maintain while leading Australia's Test side for months at a time, in the years before cricket turned professional. CAPTAIN AUSTRALIA, first published in hardback in November 2000, has been revised as a trade paperback to include updated material on Sir Donald Bradman, Steve Waugh, and Waugh's replacement Test skipper for part of the 2000-01 season, Adam Gilchrist. CAPTAIN AUSTRALIA, is a compelling and highly readable history of Australian cricket and its leadership.

Download Captain's Diary Book in PDF, ePub and Kindle
After a three year losing streak in the Ashes, complete with a painfully recent 3-0 loss in England, facing the victorious English cricket team so soon was never going to be an easy battle. The public's faith in the young Australian team was waning. Despite their failures, captain Michael Clarke records in his diary a feeling of hunger in his team: a hunger to strike back, a hunger to prove their talent to the world. A hunger to return the urn. Michael Clarke led his team to an Ashes victory at home in a 5-0 triumph over the 2013-14 summer. Along the way, the tide of public affection turned in his favour for the first time. Clarke had previously been respected for his deeds as a batsman, but had not truly won the hearts of sports fans. This Ashes series changed that. Clarke showed the grit, talent, charisma and aggression Australian sports fans look for in their leaders. Revealing and insightful, Clarke once again puts his unique mark on the sport, giving us his account of how he rallied both the team and public behind him to bring the urn home.
