In this book, Neill Phillipson has sought not to compare but rather to let a selection of Australia's cricket immortals speak for themselves through their backgrounds and performances. Most will be well known to the avid cricket fan, but in many instances, their records are not so well appreciated.

Some of the cricketers covered from the early years up to 1977 include Warwick Windridge Armstrong, Peter John Parnell Burge, William Morris Lawry, Charles George Maccartney, William Joseph O'Reilly, and Robert Neil Harvey. All have, either through natural ability, dedication or through the sheer force of personality, become part of the folklore of the game.
