Taylor Made offers a rare, inside-the-dressing-room account of a defining year in Australian cricket under the captaincy of Mark Taylor.
Published at a pivotal moment in the mid-1990s resurgence of Australian cricket, the book chronicles a year in the life of Taylor as he navigates:
The pressures of leading the national side
Tactical decision-making at Test level
Touring life and international rivalries
The evolving team culture that would lay foundations for Australia’s coming era of dominance
Media scrutiny and the expectations of Australian cricket supporters
Unlike a traditional end-of-career autobiography, Taylor Made captures events contemporaneously — offering immediacy and insight into the responsibilities of captaincy during a transitional period between the Allan Border era and the rise of Australia’s late-1990s powerhouse team.
The book includes reflections on team strategy, player relationships, leadership philosophy and the personal demands placed upon a national captain.
