The story and history of The Baggy Green – Australia's premier sporting icon.
The baggy green cap worn by Australian Test players is an icon. It's the pride of Australian cricket. With the face of the game everchanging, the wearing of the baggy green has always been the pinnacle for Australian players.
The baggy green cap is revered by everyone with a connection to Australian cricket. The Baggy Green book charts its evolution with reflections from many past and present Test players. It explores the cap's history, mystique and worth, with insight from the sport's greatest figures, museums and leading auction houses.
Who knew spending 10 hours reading about a hat could be so entertaining! Loved every page. Informative, engaging, comprehensive. Definitely recommend for any cricket fan.
Everything you ever wanted to know about a hat. And quite a few things you could have continued living without knowing. It’s hardly in the cannot-put-down category, but given the symbolic significance of the cap worn by our cricketers, it’s probably a worthy tome. I’m glad to have it among my reference books. And, by the way, an excellent example of thorough research.
