Benaud & Co is a classic contemporary account of the 1958–59 Test series, captained by Richie Benaud, one of Australia’s most influential cricketing leaders. Written by renowned cricket journalist A G Moyes, the book captures the tactical evolution of the Australian side during a pivotal era of post-Bradman cricket.
 
Moyes combines match-by-match reportage with insightful analysis of leadership, team balance, and the growing professionalism of Test cricket. Particular attention is paid to Benaud’s captaincy style — innovative, calm, and attacking — alongside profiles of his supporting cast, making this both a series chronicle and a study in modern cricket leadership.
 
First published in 1959, the book reflects the immediacy of the tour itself and remains an important primary source for collectors and historians interested in Australian cricket’s transition into the Benaud era.
