Bradman and O’Dowd had corresponded for a number of years and Bradman was clearly very happy to write the foreword, “...I just wish there were more Kevin O’Dowds prepared to chronicle the life-blood of cricket.” At the time of publication, Kevin O’Dowd had been statistician of the Geelong Cricket Association for eleven seasons, having “served his apprenticeship” during nineteen seasons in the same position with the East-Belmont Cricket Club. The book represents six years of research, editing and writing. (3)
