The All-rounder: The inside story of big time cricket

About Dan Christian

Dan Christian is one of the world's most sought after cricketers not only a star for the Sydney Sixers but having been part of teams in premier leagues from India and Pakistan to South Africa and the Caribbean. In The All-Rounder he takes us on a globe-trotting tour from Karachi to the Caribbean from the billion-dollar Indian Premier League where he played for Virat Kohli's Royal Challengers Bangalore to an Aussie comeback in St Lucia. It was a never-ending summer like no other shadowed by COVID-19 encased in bio-secure bubbles in which Dan also reflected on his indigenous heritage and grappled with imminent fatherhood all the while concentrating on a fast-evolving high-stakes game in which you're a champion one day a chump the next. Gideon Haigh has been a journalist since 1984 written forty-two books edited seven others and contributed to more than a hundred newspapers and magazines. He works for The Australian and The Times.
