Former Test bowler, ABC Radio cricket commentator, funny man, raconteur and all-round sporting tragic Kerry O'Keeffe recalls some of the most hilarious and poignant events from his life - in sport and away from it. Former test bowler, ABC Radio cricket commentator, funny man, raconteur and all-round sporting tragic Kerry O'Keeffe recalls some of the most hilarious and poignant events from his life - in sport and away from it. From the racetrack at Fanny Bay in Darwin and catching up with mates for legendary lunches to leading a tour party through the highs and lows of the 2004 Cricket World Cup in the West Indies and backyard cricket tests with his surfing champion son, the author of the bestselling ACCORDING tO SKULL relates the agony and the ecstasy of a life lived through sport. With more humour than your usual stand-up comic and more sharp-eyed opinion about the state of cricket than you average commentator, Kerry O'Keeffe has written another winner for all lovers of the game and punters who love a laugh.
Straight breaker Kerry O'Keeffe played at club, state and international level in the days before cricket became way too serious. The days when a warm-up meant a cigarette and a few knee bends. He is a knowledgeable cricket enthusiast and a sensational humorist, which has led to commentary roles on radio and television. He is a tremendous story teller and public speaker.
