Book Synopsis Standing My Ground by : Matthew Hayden

Download or read book Standing My Ground written by Matthew Hayden and published by Penguin Group Australia. This book was released on 2010-10-12 with total page 393 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Matthew Hayden was one of the most commanding batsmen the game has ever seen - and one of its great enigmas. A religious man and a ruthless on-field sledger. A brutal enforcer, and a soft-hearted family man. Australian record-holder for highest score in Tests and One Day Internationals, who was at times troubled by self-doubt and doubters. In Standing My Ground Hayden confronts these contradictions head-on. He talks frankly about the forces that shaped his journey from fringe international to a giant of the game, and takes us on a privileged tour inside the sporting machine that dominated all comers in a golden age of Australian cricket. This isn't a predictable ball-by-ball account of a stellar career. Instead, Hayden delivers a characteristically direct assessment of the matches and the people that mattered most. He opens up on umpires, the media, superstitions, teammates and opponents with disarming honesty and humour. The country boy from Kingaroy rose to greatness in the cricket world. Here is the superstar batsman, the surfer, fisherman and chef in a book as bold and powerful as the man himself.
