Publisher's summary

Cricket fans, where were you during the disaster that was the 2013 Ashes? Adam Zwar was making a documentary about bodyline and filming a stunt that involved Brett Lee bowling bouncers to him while he wasn't wearing a helmet. Matthew Hayden warned him not do it. But the cameras were set up. What was he going to do - say no?

How about when Australia A nearly upset Australia in the 1995 World Series Cup and the players were rebelling against officials? Adam was working as a driver for an escort agency in Melbourne.

Or Australia v. India in 2001? That was when Adam was stuck in a hotel with AC/DC.

For all the significant moments in Adam's life, cricket was in the background - or foreground. And you don't need to be a fan of cricket to be able to relate, because we all remember where we were when something important happened, whether that's a cricket test, an album release or a TV show ending. Twelve Summers is hilarious, moving and thought-provoking. Even if you aren't a fan of cricket, you'll find a lot to love listening to this audiobook.

fantastically relatable and honest

Really wonderful and much, much more than the cricket (which serves as a brilliant foil to his personal story). Anyone who grew up with even a passing eye on Australian cricket team would enjoy being taken back in time. There is much to relate to. I loved it.

Reminded me how much I loved cricket.

Really enjoyable audiobook. Fascinating to hear about Adams story and reminded me of how much I loved cricket growing up. The humor in this audiobook is refreshing.
