Overview
In May 1977, the cricket world woke to discover that thirty-nine-year-old Sydney businessman Kerry Packer had signed thirty-five international stars for his own televised 'World Series'. The Cricket War,revised and updated in this edition, is the definitive account of the split that changed the game on the field and on the screen.
In helmets, under lights, with white balls and in coloured clothes, the outlaw armies of Ian Chappell, Tony Greig and Clive Lloyd fought a daily battle for survival. In boardrooms and courtrooms, Packer and cricket's rulers fought a bitter war of nerves. It was the end of cricket as we knew it - and the beginning of cricket as we know it.
