Merv: The Full Story is the candid and highly entertaining autobiography of Australian fast-bowling icon Merv Hughes — one of the most recognisable and charismatic cricketers of the 1980s and 1990s.
 
Co-written with Patrick Keane, the book captures Hughes’ journey from Victorian grade cricket to becoming a mainstay of the Australian Test attack during a transformative era for Australian cricket.
 
Known as much for his imposing moustache and aggressive competitiveness as for his outswinger and stamina, Hughes provides an unfiltered look at life in elite cricket — on and off the field.
 
Hughes writes with trademark bluntness and humour, offering readers insight into the personalities, politics and pressures of international cricket during a pivotal period when Australia re-emerged as a world force.
