Description

England in 1975 was about to witness a revolution in cricket. The Australian team, featuring players like Ian Chappell and Rodney Marsh, was set to face off against England in an Ashes series. But what was happening behind the scenes was just as significant - World Series Cricket was on the horizon, and its impact would be felt far beyond the pitch. At the heart of this movement was Kerry Packer, a media mogul with a vision for a new kind of cricket. As the Australian team's fortunes rose, so did Packer's influence, challenging the traditional establishment and paving the way for a more modern game. This book tells the story of World Series Cricket and its charismatic leader, Kerry Packer.
