Never far from the action, Andrew 'Roy' Symonds is a cricketing legend. One of Australia's most talented players, he is admired by kids, fans and players alike for his livewire batting, his never-say-die attitude, and his outspoken nature both on and off the field.
In this, his second book, Symonds takes us on a journey through one of the most eventful and tumultuous years of his career, beginning with Australia's victory at the 2007 World Cup and through to the inaugural IPL Twenty20 Tournament, which saw him become the most highly paid cricketer in the world.
Roy on the Rise shows both highs and lows - from success on the world stage to private battles with injury and the controversial 'monkey' incidents. This candid accout of Roy's rollercoaster year is as much fun as the man himself. Whether giving a ball-by-ball account of the World Cup final or sharing his opinion on the future of the game, he writes with unflinching honesty and his trademark sense of humour.
