Chapter Chapter 2 in Professionalism and Commercialism in Australian Cricket, 2023, pp 3-33 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract Sport has long been a central feature of Australian popular culture. The colonial sporting culture that emerged in Australia in the nineteenth century was highly derivative of the games and recreational pastimes of the United Kingdom. In Australia, the adoption of these sports was both a way to preserve and develop the country’s links with Britain but also to enable the country to compete in sporting contests with the mother country.
