About The Author

Geoff Lemon

Geoff Lemon founded pirate commentary station White Line Wireless, graduated to ABC and BBC ball-by-ball around the world, and has spent the last dozen years as the principal cricket writer for Guardian Australia. His book Steve Smith’s Men, on the Cape Town sandpaper scandal, won multiple awards. Outside cricket, he was the longtime editor of literary anthology Going Down Swinging and director of the National Young Writers Festival. He has published books of poetry and essays, and still writes on politics, literature, and music.

Adam Collins is an award-winning cricket commentator and writer, having previously worked in Australian federal politics advising a Prime Minister and a Treasurer. Forever a Melbourne sports nut but now living in London, he follows cricket and footy first, but plenty more besides. He was named the Christopher Martin-Jenkins Broadcaster of the Year, and has covered international cricket on radio and television around the world for a decade. In 2024, he co-authored Glenn Maxwell’s autobiography.
