Rezensionen

This is a massive collection of cricket stories most of which are probably new for the reader. A majority comes from Australian cricket, especially from the grade cricket. Nice book to randomly picked a page and read.

The Bears Uncensored covers not only the football played by Caulfield but much off ground shenanigans as well, including at the Cave, which apparently was THE place to be on Sunday nights during the football season (but never had an alcohol licence).

There are some interesting anecdotes here but my lack of VFA knowledge meant many references sailed way above my head.

Cartoons are by Paul Harvey. This book was first released in 2015. It was released again without apparent revision in 2016. It was revised and extended by an additional 16 pages in a 2020 edition.… (mehr)
