Something just seems to happen inside me. I know I have to dig deeper and somehow it works'

For fifteen years Allan Border was Australian cricket: tough, dependable, the player for whom no cause was lost. The nature of the contest was being irrevocably changed by the rise of professionalism and the demands of the one-day game, but Border remained the beating heart of the national team.

From the cathedrals of English cricket to the crucibles of the Carribean, no bowler was Border's master. He was magnificent in adversity. This is the illustrated story of his career, his hesitant beginnings, reluctant rise to the captaincy and gradual moulding of one of Australia's strongest sides.

Gideon Haigh, author of the widely praised The Cricket War, provides here an evocative and detailed account of the temperament and technique of Test cricket's tallest scorer.

Excellent condition book about an Australian cricketing legend, written and signed by one of Australia's greatest sports writers.
