From what I remember he wasn't Bradman's No.1 Fan.Random bump, but I recently got a copy of Cricket Crisis by Jack Fingleton, Aussie opening batter during the Bodyline series.
Genuinely one of the most interesting, brilliantly written and un-put-downable books I've ever purchased

Oh he absolutely hates him.From what I remember he wasn't Bradman's No.1 Fan.
I bought it for that exact purpose, but I honestly think I'll have finished the book before I've even packed my case!Thanks....going on holiday in a couple of weeks. Will seek this out.
'Kim Hughes - Golden Boy' by Christian Ryan.
Not just a biography of the first Aussie captain to cry at a press conference but a rather candid look at Aussie cricket in the days of Packer and WSC, the Chappells and the feuds between certain players. Lillee and Marsh's dislike of Hughes is a running theme throughout the book and of course it covers a time when they would usually be beaten by us quite convincingly.
Apparantly it was voted Best Cricket Book Ever in a Wisden poll. IMHO I've read better but would still highly recommend it.
