Description

The Kid from Coraki  tells the story of  Lou Benaud, the father of Richie and John Benaud and a very fine club standard player who went teaching when he could easily have played cricket at far higher levels. This is a limited edition, a  hardback with 256 pages and almost 70 images. It is signed by John.

John Benaud wrote this  note to m e pre-publication: ‘ For me, (it’s) a bit of a labour of love really. Dad left copious notes/opinions and Rich and I had an idea many moons ago to try sorting it all and maybe producing a cricket book of interest. We’d only just got seriously going when Rich got ill and slowed it all down. It’s quite a  different perspective on the game.’….

So talented was Lou that he could easily have played rep cricket, but chose teaching ahead of his own sporting ambitions.— KP
