Book Synopsis

Australians love sport - and we love a sports cliche. No commentary is complete without a player under an ''injury cloud'' or a coach with a ''selection headache''; every game has a ''ball magnet'' player. Bring Your A Game is a celebration of Aussie sporting language: a true ornament to the game that gives 110 per cent to sports fans.

So the ball''s in your court, reader: are you ready to step up and play within yourself in order to appreciate the blend of youth and experience evident in this book by bestselling author and multi award-winning sports writer Anthony Sharwood, who has covered three Olympics, a Super Bowl, and written sport for newspapers, websites, magazines and television?

In Bring Your A Game, Sharwood takes a tilt at explaining the origins and usage of all the essential Australian sporting phrases - ably assisted by Louisa Maggio''s hilarious illustrations of your favourite cliches. What does a premiership window look like, anyway
