This book focuses on the development of cricket in Australia, with a focus on the commercial and professional aspects of the game. It takes a historical approach and analyses the reasons behind the ebbs and flows of commercialisation in the game. It also applies economic analysis to help provide it with some original insights into the way in which the game is structured and has developed in Australia. The book would be of interest to a range of people both in Australia and abroad, who are interested in the manner in which sport in the modern world has become a commercialised pursuit. Malcolm Abbott is an economist by profession and in the past has worked for a number of government agencies and universities in Australia, New Zealand and a range of other countries in the Asia-Pacific region. The main fields of work in which he has been engaged has been the development of energy markets and network infrastructure. In addition, he has also worked in other areas of policy including rail, seaports, airports, dairy industry deregulation, stevedoring, education management, and sports management. He has also undertaken work on a range of consulting projects both in Australia and overseas, for government agencies, local government, and private companies. He holds a PhD from the University of Melbourne.
