Born the year the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) Test wicket was illegally watered, author and commentator Ken Piesse is Australian cricket’s master storyteller, who has written, edited or published 87 books on the summer game, including Cricket’s Colosseum, 125 years of Test Cricket at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. Ken was president of the Australian Cricket Society from 2006-22. He works for P & O telling stories, tall and true, on cricket and football. He is also a proud member of the Mt Eliza fifth XI on the Mornington Peninsula, and occasionally his very loopy leg-breaks land. In one breakout ‘C’ section match in the Australian Over 60s National Championships in Perth in 2016–17, his 40 (retired) came at better than a run-a-ball. His Pictorial History of Australian Test Cricket (2016 for Echo/Bonnier) was recognised as the Australian cricket book of the year. He is the author of the bestselling book, On Ya Warnie.

"The Bull is impeccably told with a great insight and understanding demonstrating Piesse’s acute cricketing knowledge..." – Barry Nicholls, Australian Cricket Digest
