Alex Blackwell lived and breathed our national sport of cricket for thirty years. Starting as a kid, she spent her childhood and teen years on the field with her identical twin, Kate, who was equally devoted to the bat and ball. While both sisters went on to represent Australia, Alex built a 15-year career in the green and gold, eventually rising to the captaincy, notching up an eye-watering list of sporting achievements and etching her name into cricket's history. But life off the field brought challenges of its own. From her professional debut, Alex was unafraid to call out hypocrisy and go in to battle against the traditional hierarchies of the game. Speaking out and becoming a passionate advocate for women and LGBTQI people in sport won her many fans and much respect, but it didn't come without a price. Fair Game is the unmissable account of life and leadership inside Australia's most loved sporting team, told by one of its most capped players of all time. This is the story of the sacrifices and victories, the extreme highs and devastating lows, that come with playing sport at the highest level, and of what it takes to be truly courageous on and off the field.

A word of welcome to the culinary bliss of consuming one of the world's greatest delicacies. There has never been an oyster cookbook like this one. Guaranteed. It covers just about everything an oyster lover would care to learn about this delectable little devil. A great addition to your seafood cookbook collection Mouthwatering recipes range from simple grilled or champagne poached oysters to elegant appetizers and stews, fritters and fry. Accompanied by delightful and instructive illustrations, this unusual cookbook is likely to delight the special "oyster lover" in your life. Oysters have long been acclaimed to have the most wonderful effects on their consumer; and who are we to state otherwise. Archeologists are always finding prehistoric kitchen middens (garbage dumps) littered with oyster shells. One of the things defining such middens is the presence of oyster shells. I suppose that even cave men knew what was good for them. In fact, oysters have been cultivated by man for more than 2000 years. The continued love for oysters by our fellow men and women might even be construed to point to a natural selection of oyster eaters over those who don't eat oystersl ... So where would humanity be today without oysters? My motto: "Eat Oysters and Love Longer" Oysters are delicious, especially fresh on the half-shell, but there are also many mouth-watering dishes you can prepare to increase your enjoyment even more. After many years happily trying out new recipes, I was finally persuaded to pass on some of my favorites.
