It tells the story of a Sri Lankan-born cricket freak, the author, and his journey in following the life and achievements of his boyhood hero and cricket idol, the Australian cricketer &#8211; Kevin Doug Walters. The author has been a personal friend of his subject (Doug Walters) since 2009.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Through innumerable meetings over many years, Doug\u2019s inputs have enriched the narrative and its veracity. An important interview with Ian Chappell, the former Australian captain, adorns the book. With the author\u2019s extensive research, the book provides an interesting and accurate account of the era, the Test matches that featured Doug Walters, and the main details related to the series in which Doug played.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">With the enthusiastic inputs from Ian Chappell, the author makes a reasonable effort to place Doug Walters, both as a crucially important batsman and a match-winner for Australia at a time when Australia emerged as the most dominant team in the world (the 1970s decade).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-143507 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/websitedesigns.com.au\/elankanew\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/crickrter-e1729053604441-295x400.jpg\" alt=\"crickrter\" width=\"295\" height=\"400\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">The narrative is sprinkled with the author\u2019s own personal viewpoints as a cricket-lover. Although some are personal opinions and perspectives on cricket, they are well discussed and justified with abundant notes, a bibliography and cited references. Nimal says that Doug Walters is a \u2018rare organism\u2019 in the sense C. L. R. James described great cricketers like Sir Garry Sobers. \u2018An Artist to the Core\u2019 would be how Neville Cardus might describe him.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Doug is a truly enduring, legendary Australian cricketer whose exploits dazzled the fans who saw him play. Doug\u2019s legendary batting exploits are re-told in this book from the vantage point of a cricket tragic who idolised him from childhood.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Doug epitomises the best \u2018spirit\u2019 of Australian cricket and the best elements of any sport: the passions, skills, joys and the highs and lows that affect sports people. As a \u2018team player<em>\u2019<\/em> and \u2018match-winner<em>\u2019,<\/em> he was second to none, as his former captain \u2013 another Australian legend &#8211; Ian Chappell attests.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">His former teammate Ashley Mallet once wrote:<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">\u2018<em>Doug Walters is a constant in Australia: a national treasure like the Opera House or the Sydney Harbour Bridge. Cricket fans embraced him as one of their own, for here was a national batting hero who did the sort of stuff they did: he drank, smoked, and had a bet and a laugh<\/em>..\u201d\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">This book is a chronological \u2018re-telling\u2019 of Doug Walters\u2019 story with commentary and analyses of the games Doug featured in and highlighting his contributions within the context of those games. The book also includes conversations with Doug Walters and Ian Chappell on various perspectives on how the game is changing and other current topics in cricket that matter to cricket fans worldwide.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Nimal says that the book\u2019s title was indeed the literal truth: He had been \u201c<em>Looking<\/em>\u201d for Doug from the time he first arrived in Australia in July 1993. <em>This book is his story, woven with Doug\u2019s<\/em> story, covering cricket in this important and thoroughly enjoyable era (1965-1981). As a cricket freak, Nimal \u201cwitnessed this era\u201d by listening to ABC and BBC radio broadcasts that he listened to back in Sri Lanka.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">A summarised account of Doug\u2019s statistics with an analysis ends the book, placing him correctly where he deserves to be, among the leading run scorers for Australia. The narrative also summarises why Doug Walters will be remembered as a true custodian of the game we love and the spirit in which it should be played. In the final analysis, Doug stands head and shoulders above those who didn\u2019t endeavour to do so in the past or make no attempt even today.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 16px;\"><strong>The Author<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-143508\" src=\"https:\/\/websitedesigns.com.au\/elankanew\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/nimal-chandrasena-542x400.jpg\" alt=\"nimal chandrasena\" width=\"542\" height=\"400\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"TableText\" style=\"line-height: 115%; text-align: justify;\" align=\"left\"><span lang=\"EN-GB\" style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #000000;\">Nimal Chandrasena is a Weed Scientist by profession.
