Of Battenberg, Bombay and Blag is a blood, sweat and beers switch
hit across the decades with first-hand accounts and opinion pieces
on club cricket, Test matches, the Hundred and IPL. With a decade
of club cricket under his belt, Vic Mills heads to Australia in
search of adventure only to suffer a severe bout of sledging, but
he is one of the few to witness World Series Cricket. With Bodyline
almost forgotten, he turns out for the Bar & Bench of
Melbourne, the Gentlemen of Ballarat and (his only cap) an
Australian Embassy XI in Manila. Chaos ensues in the 1980s as he
blags his way into Test grounds around Australia with a building
industry union card doubling as a press pass. In the 1990s, he
becomes a reluctant reporter, accredited to cricket's press corps
courtesy of the Times of India and Jakarta Post. Fast forward to
2009 and Vic is the driving force behind Project Front Foot, a
decade-long venture to create a cricket academy for the children of
South Asia's largest slum. Today, the project supports refugee
cricketers in Europe.
