ABOUT THE AUTHOR Peter Murray

Born in Ambala India, author Peter Murray has published and written several sporting books and magazines over the past 20 years. Now living in Australia, Murray has been responsible for the colorful style and trends of many current sporting publications. "In the early 80's, cricket publications were predominantly published in black and white. I would like to believe that I changed this 'comfortable' style by introducing fantastic colorful images in my publications and by using superior glossy paper. It is pleasing to see that every sports magazine now follows this trend and that photographers have taken up the challenge by capturing interesting images which will be published with confidence." Murray has written and published several books including "Chappell Lillee Marsh" in 1984, "World Cup Cricket" in 1983, "World Championship of Cricket" in 1985 and "World Cup Cricket" in 1992. He has also published "Ayrton Senna - Prince of Formula One" 1994, "Michael Schumacher - Germany's History Making World Champion" 1995, The 1988 Seoul Olympic Games Official Guide and "Schumacher - A Decade of Formula One" 2001. Murray has been the editor of Cricket Lifestyle Magazine, Cricket World Magazine and has contributed to many newspapers and magazines world-wide.
