Secondhand. Very good condition. Minor wear to book corners and edges. Signed by author.
On our selection is an alternative history of Australian cricket. It asks what-if questions and reimagines our national game. While it would be nice to think that Australia's Test selectors always picked the best players, they have not been infallible.
Using 72 case studies from 1877 to the present, sports historian Bernard Whimpress reflects on choices made and not made: well-credentialled players overlooked when fit and ready for action, or their careers ended before their time; players wrongly chosen in the first instance and persevered with when their performances did not demand their retention; times when opportunities were missed, when selectorial flair was called for, when stodgy thinking limited possibilities.
