'Calypso Summer' is the story of one of the best summers of cricket ever played in Australia. Two of the greatest teams ever - the West Indians with Frank Worrell as captain - and the Australians, under Richie Benaud, played magical cricket, including the famous tied Test in Brisbane. The season marked the emergence of the West Indies as a force in world cricket, and set the scene for the clashes which have often defined modern cricket till the present day.
The series captured the hearts of Australians as no other before it - hundreds of thousands of Melbournians lined the streets as the West Indian left. The book not only tells the story of a special series, it also follows the careers of the team members of both sides.
