Cricket War, The
Author(s): Gideon Haigh
It was the end of cricket as we knew it - and the beginning of cricket as we know it. In May 1977, the cricket world woke to discover that a businessman called Kerry Packer had signed 35 international players for his own televised World Series Cricket. This title is an account of the split that changed the game on the field and on the screen.
