This book focuses on the development of cricket in Australia, with a focus on the commercial and professional aspects of the game.

It also applies economic analysis to help provide it with some original insights into the way in which the game is structured and has developed in Australia. The book would be of interest to a range of people both in Australia and abroad, who are interested in the manner in which sport in the modern world has become a commercialised pursuit.
