My Cricketing Days is the autobiography of Charles George Macartney (1886–1958), one of Australia’s greatest all-round cricketers and a key figure in early 20th-century Ashes contests.
 
Published in 1930, the same year as his retirement from Test cricket, the book recounts his life and career from his beginnings in Sydney to his international triumphs against England.
 
Rich in anecdote and first-hand recollections, Macartney captures the essence of cricket’s golden era — playing alongside legends such as Victor Trumper and Warwick Armstrong, and reflecting on his own evolution from left-arm spinner to prolific run-scorer.
 
The volume includes a frontispiece photograph of Macartney in playing attire (Daily Mirror photograph) and offers a candid insight into both his playing philosophy and the spirit of cricket between the wars.
 
This uniquely signed first edition of My Cricketing Days is highly collectible, particularly given the book’s age and the status of Macartney as a pre-WWII Australian cricket icon.
