He was the SMH and Sun-Heralds chief rugby union correspondent between 1987 and 2012, but has always retained a strong cricket interest.
Between 2012 and 2018, he left the SMH to become the Australian rugby correspondent for ESPN. In February, 2019, he returned to the SMH as a sporting columnist.
This is his fourth cricket-related book.
