[Marco · Rating 3 out of 5]

Cricket lovers will enjoy this book on the man 'from 'Obart, with a capital O' and one of the best moustache's ever to grace the sporting field. In this book, Max talks a lot about his childhood in Tasmania, moving to Melbourne and playing VFL football for the Melbourne Demons (I believe he is the last person to play both VFL/AFL football and play Test Cricket for Australia), getting called up for the Australian Test side only to find out that his captain (Ian Chappell) berated the selectors for picking him (a bag of 6 wickets in his 2nd test won Chappell over and never complained about his selection ever again). Well worth picking up.
