In 1999, cricketer Mark Taylor AO retired from Test cricket and was named Australian of the Year. He went out on a high having been captain for the last five years, leading an increasingly successful Australian team. In The Taylor Years, first published in 2000, veteran sports journalist Ken Piesse brilliantly brings to life what wasn’t only a key period in Australian cricket, but a key period in Australian sport. A must for cricket fans.


Ken Piesse is a journalist, commentator, magazine editor and author—he’s published 76 books. President of the Australian Cricket Society for more than a decade, Ken is also a member of the Melbourne Cricket Club Media Hall of Fame and the Australian Football Media Hall of Fame.
