'200 Seasons of Australian Cricket' chronicles the stories of the early days of Australian cricket from that first success against England at the MCG, through the Test that began the Ashes legend, to the tours of South Africa, West Indies and Pakistan and the turbulent and exciting cricket of the past 20 years... it's all here in story, picture and score.

Our great cricketers are enduring heroes. The immortal Victor Trumper and the peerless Don Bradman head a batting tradition continued by modern names such as Chappell, Border and Waugh. And bowlers like the "Demon" Spofforth and "Terror" Turner began a rick inheritance passed down through Lindwall and Lillee to Shane Warne. Their deeds are re-told with the urgency of today's news.

Each Test series is accompanied by scores and averages, so that each season is complete in one place, with short news stories in the "Quick Singles" column, feature articles and match reports.

As well as essays on the greatest players, every Australian Test player is pictured with a comprehensive statistical biography.

More than 1,300 pictures in '200 Seasons of Australian Cricket' have been obtained from all over the country, and form the most comprehensive Australian cricket picture collection ever assembled in one place.
