Imagine five of the world’s greatest players lining up for a domestic one-day game at the WACA Ground in Perth in December, 1976. Then, imagine the team that bats first being bowled out for just 77 runs. Finally, let your imagination take you through a devastatingly effective spell by fastbowling great Dennis Lillee, leading his team to what appeared to be an unwinnable victory – having claimed Viv Richards and Greg Chappell for just two runs between them!

Through one electric game, unsurprisingly dubbed ‘The Miracle Match’, author Ian Brayshaw tells the story of some of the greatest Australian and international cricket players in the 1970s. The Miracle Match is a nostalgic look at the game in a bygone era that will touch the hearts of cricket fans, young and old. (back cover)
