Cricket: A Portrait of a Game is photography in the tradition of the great 20th century photographers. It captures the heart of the game from the commentators chatting in the broadcast booth, players relaxing in the team rooms, to never before photos of Shane Warne.

Distinguished cricket writer and photographer, Mark Ray, has roamed the world of cricket capturing the greats of the cricket-playing nations as well as unique portraits of the world of cricket.

This is a stunning portrait of the game played across the globe and loved by generations: it documents the spirit that surrounds it, from the stars behind the scenes – unselfconscious and uninhibited – to those that support the game, the fans, the groundsmen the umpires, and the commentators. A rich and fascinating portrait of a game much loved.

Mark Ray worked as a journalist and photographer in Australia, for The Age in Melbourne and The Sydney Morning Herald, for many years. He has written a number of books on cricket as well as published books of his photographs. In the 1990s, the Australian Cricket Society rated one of his photographic books, Cricket Masala, among the 50 best Australian cricket books ever published. His photographs are well-known across the world of cricket.
