Ashley Mallett

    Ashley Mallett sa preslávil ako nadhadzovač s "off-spin" štýlom, ktorého kriketová kariéra vyvrcholila v rokoch 1968 až 1980. Po úspešnom pôsobení v austrálskych tímoch sa pustil do písania. Stal sa plodným autorom s viac ako 20 knihami, ktoré sa prevažne venujú kriketu. Jedno z jeho diel však skúma životy pozoruhodných aboridžinských aktivistov, umelcov a športovcov.
