For Those Who Wait : The Barry Jarman Story

Barry Jarman was relegated to reserve Australian wicketkeeper for ten years while arch-rival Wally Grout established himself as one of the all-time keeping greats. His was one of the longest waits in sporting history but it didn't dampen Jarman's 'double dose of enthusiasm' for the game. Barry Nicholls' vivid account of the life of one of South Australia's favourite sons marks a sporting journey from the suburbs of Adelaide to international cricket fields across five continents. It is a story of endurance, perseverance and, ultimately, the achievement of the greatest prize in Australian sport.
