The book charts the evolution with reflections from many past and present Test players of the Australian Baggy Green Cricket Cape. The argument is given that by the turn of the 21st century the cap had become a national icon -- a symbol of Australian sporting excellence and a highly sought after item of memorabilia. Details of the sale prices achieved when the cap has been sold around the world are also given. As Mark Taylor notes it is a powerful and timeless symbol which connects Victor Trumper to Ricky Ponting. No library descriptions found. |
