Bradman + Packer
Bradman + Packer
The deal that changed cricket
By Daniel BrettigUnit price / per
In 1977 Kerry Packer's World Series Cricket insurgency jolted a staid and traditional sport into a period of chaos and upheaval. Pitting
traditionalists against revolutionaries, and players against their paymasters, the a air forever altered not only the power dynamics of the summer game, but the way in which it was presented and viewed.
Much is now understood of Packer's role in rst seizing control of cricket, then handing it back in a drastically different shape, but far less of the part played by Sir Donald Bradman- better known as the game's
greatest batsman, but also an administrator of far-reaching, if secretive, influence.
In Bradman & Packer - The Deal that Changed Cricket, journalist Daniel Brettig, author of the award-winning Whitewash to Whitewash, deftly reconstructs the shadowy period that remade cricket. When two
titans of Australian life came face to face in a clandestine meeting, they brokered the peace deal that ended a sporting war.
Following on from Gideon Haigh's acclaimed Crossing the Line- How Australian cricket lost its way, Bradman & Packer is the second instalment in Slattery Media Group's 'Sports Shorts' collection, a new home for lively and engaging writing on sport. Every edition will illuminate and entertain, all the while fitting into your back pocket on
the way to the game.
