For more than 140 years, our baggy green heroes have captured the hearts of fans who follow their fortunes with pride and passion. Compiled by former Inside Edge editor Martin Lenehan, who has covered cricket in print and on radio for 25 years, 'Baggy Green Legends' pays tribute to the most sacred piece of headwear in Australian sport and the men and women who wear it with distinction. Featuring more than 150 magnificent images and the unique insights of Mark Taylor, Allan Border, Nathan Lyon, Ian Healy, Jason Gillespie, Colin Miller, Rick McCosker, Ellyse Perry, Megan Schutt and more, 'Baggy Green Legends' takes you on a journey from the making of the cap to the emotional presentation to debutants and the buzz of singing the team song after a win. Find out which Aussie sporting legend 'AB' presented one of his treasured baggy green caps to and share the moment Mike Hussey passed the coveted role of song master to Nathan Lyon. Take a trip down memory lane with 'Baggy Green Legends' and revel in the rich history of our national game.
