The prayer of the straight breaker, the try-hard, wanna-be spinner: please turn please turn - Turn Turn Turn Please immediately introduces us to Kerry O'Keeffe's rollicking memoirs. Always self-deprecatingly entertaining, as happy to poke fun at himself as at anyone else. In this sparkling new book of cricketing, touring, sporting, commentating, parenting memoirs, O'Keeffe hilariously reflects on everything from carport cricket to country towns, from the South African commentary box to sledging with the best. Along the way he describes and discusses our Australian cricketing captains (including, of course, the Chappell brothers) and many other cricketers from Imran Khan to Brian Lara, Slater and Macgill. But in amongst all the funny memories are O'Keeffe's recollections of sliding to the bottom and pulling his way back. His inspiring thoughts about the cancer of negativity, the way to turn yourself around add poignancy, depth and true feeling to his latest book, leavening the hilarity with true humanity.
