Neil Wagner is one of the greatest bowlers ever to play test cricket for New Zealand. His unique style and passion for the game made him a Black Caps' fan favourite and earned him praise from every corner of the cricket-playing world.
In this revealing memoir, he tells his story for the first time in his own words. From his humble beginnings in working-class Pretoria, to his move to New Zealand to chase his lifelong dream and his emergence as an integral part of the most successful period in Black Caps' history, Wagner opens up about his triumphs on the field and personal challenges off it.
His story resonates with determination, showcasing the grit and resilience that saw him not only survive but thrive as he navigated the high-pressure world of professional sport. Unexpectedly intimate, and beautifully told, this is more than a chronicle of cricketing prowess from one of the game's most respected players; it's an inspiring testament to the power of perseverance and the all-out pursuit of one's dreams.
Neil Wagner (Author)
Neil Wagner was born in South Africa and has become one of New Zealand's finest Test cricketers - his 260 wickets have him 5th on the all-time charts. He is well known and loved for his passion and commitment, and his unique style that helped the Black Caps to the World Test Championship title and their best ever decade.
Gerard Cronin (Reader)
Gerard is another export from across the Tasman.
Having voiced on New Zealand commercial radio for over a decade, his vocal talent and range has accelerated quickly in the last few years - having won the 2014 and 2017 NZ Radio Awards for Best Commercial Voice Talent.
He thrives in everything from relaxed genuine reads, through to surprising characters and accents - even singing dogs!
Plus, he's also branched out to voice across other media - including online and television - in recent years and even "fell into" acting in a couple of TV commercials, which (ironically) required him to convey a message without saying a single word!
A Creative Writer by trade, Gerard offers a good understanding of what a script is looking to achieve and brings an infectious enthusiasm to get the job done right.
