CC: The Colin McDonald Story is the engaging autobiography of the Australian opening batsman who helped shape the golden era of post-war cricket. Illustrated throughout, this 2009 paperback recounts McDonald’s rise from country Victoria to the top of the Test batting order and the friendships and controversies he witnessed along the way.
Written in his own voice, the memoir blends on-field anecdotes with vivid portraits of teammates and rivals, giving readers an insider’s view of 1950s and 60s international cricket. Local history buffs will appreciate the snapshots of rural Australian life, while sports fans will enjoy the tactical insights and period photographs that bring the era to life.
The 212-page book arrives in very good condition: crisp, unmarked pages, no dog-ears, no inscriptions, and from a smoke-free home. A solid addition for collectors of cricket biographies, Australian sporting history, or anyone seeking an inspiring true story of perseverance and passion for the game.
