24-Dec-2003The new book Ground Rules
As hard as it was to break that hold they had over us – and we didn’t do it completely until 1995 – it was an easier process than would be the task of anyone trying to diminish the tradition and status in world cricket that both the Melbourne and Sydney Cricket Grounds possess.Great history, great traditions, great places to play cricket. The SCG and the MCG are very different grounds, but in this they are as one. Occasionally in recent years, just for a moment – because they have been part of my life for so long and part of cricket for so much longer – I might have taken them for granted. We never should.Ground Rules, which also includes chapters by Sourav Ganguly, Andy Flower, Kumar Sangakkara and Christopher Martin-Jenkins, is published by Dakini Books.
