Favourite Cricket Yarns: From Laughs and Legends to… de Ken Piesse
This is a massive collection of cricket stories most of which are probably new for the reader. A majority comes from Australian cricket, especially from the grade cricket. Nice book to randomly picked a page and read.
To be honest, I had never given former VFA club Caulfield much thought; in 23 seasons it won one premiership and folded back in the 1980s. Yet, enough people cared about the Bears to produce The Bears Uncensored, a glossy production weighing in at 250 pages.
