From the pitch to the commentary box, Kerry “Skull” O’Keeffe has covered Australian cricket from every angle for more than 30 years.

As warm and witty on the page as he is on the airwaves, Skull has the most insightful eye in cricket. Skullduggery brings together a selection of classic yarns and all-new words of wisdom to present his colourful take on cricket today.

Straight breaker Kerry O’Keeffe played at club, state and international level in the days before cricket became way too serious. The days when a warm-up meant a cigarette and a few knee bends.
