SIGNED BY GRAHAM YALLOP ON ONE OF THE BLANK PAGES
This is the book that created a sensation six weeks before it was published. At a time when cricket is at the crossroads, Graham Yallop's personal account of the 1978-79 season has become one of the game's most interesting documents. This is the inside story - the matches, the players, the umpires, and the media are all reported here from a unique perspective. This book is both a diary of events and a personal testimony about one of the longest hottest summers in Australian cricket history. (as mentioned in the foreword of the book)
