Publisher Description
Former test bowler, ABC Radio cricket commentator, funny man, raconteur and all-round sporting tragic Kerry O'Keeffe recalls some of the most hilarious and poignant events from his life - in sport and away from it. From the racetrack at Fanny Bay in Darwin and catching up with mates for legendary lunches to leading a tour party through the highs and lows of the 2004 Cricket World Cup in the West Indies and backyard cricket tests with his surfing champion son, the author of the bestselling ACCORDING tO SKULL relates the agony and the ecstasy of a life lived through sport. With more humour than your usual stand-up comic and more sharp-eyed opinion about the state of cricket than you average commentator, Kerry O'Keeffe has written another winner for all lovers of the game and punters who love a laugh.
Customer Reviews
Skull at his best
Fans of Kerry O'Keeffe will not be disappointed, you can hear his voice and giggle with each turn of the page. And yes, the frog joke is here!
Known for his sharp sense of humour and insightful analysis of cricket, it is the human Skull that shines in this book. The cricket game with his sons and son's mate is particularly satisfying, I felt like I was standing to the left of the driveway, just in front of the rose bush.
Skull will be dearly missed from ABC, but this book keeps him in the room.
