In Cricketer at the Crossroads, Australian Test cricketer Max “Tangles” Walker reflects on his life both on and off the pitch during a pivotal period in Australian cricket, notably around the time of the World Series Cricket (W.S.C.) revolution.
Known for his unique bowling style and his larrikin personality, Walker combines humour, storytelling, and personal insight into a highly readable memoir co-written with Neill Phillipson.
Title page bears a full signature and personal inscription in black ink:
“Brett, Keep up the practice. Good luck, Max Walker W.S.C.”
The inclusion of “W.S.C.” refers to World Series Cricket, making this inscription particularly interesting to collectors as it directly ties to the most transformative period in modern cricket history.
