Requirements: ePUB reader, 5.9MB
Overview: In Rhino, cricketer Ryan Harris and co-authors Stephen Gray and Jason Phelan chart Ryan’s career from the years spent as a fringe player in South Australia to the behind-the-scenes stories from the Australian Test team and what it took to get there.
As a raw-boned fast bowler just out of his teens, Ryan Harris was plucked from suburban grade cricket in 2000 and contracted to play for South Australia’s Redbacks. But by 2007 he was the last Redbacks player to be offered a contract. He realised that it was now or never if he wanted his cricket career to flourish.
A bumper summer, followed by a switch to Queensland, saw him catapulted into the Australian ODI team in 2009 and then, in 2010, he made his Test debut and received his prized baggy green cap. Along the way, he won an IPL title with the Deccan Chargers.
With injury a constant companion, it took almost four years for Ryan to make 16 Test appearances, although they netted him an impressive 71 Test wickets at an average of just over 22. Then followed a remarkable 12 months where the tin man became the iron man. In all he played 12 out of 13 Tests, a remarkable effort considering the curse of injuries that had previously restricted him.
He was the Man of the Series despite England retaining the Ashes at home in mid-2013, then a key member of the triumphant Australian team that reclaimed the venerable urn at the end of that year in a crushing clean sweep.
