The 100 Funniest Moments in Australian Cricket

From Alex Price's on-field karaoke session to Rob Quiney's resurrection of a dead seagull and Shane Watson's formidably funny front pad, these are the moments of physical slapstick and verbal repartee that make Australian cricket unique. Some moments are instant classics while some take decades to pay off and, naturally, some involve players getting hit in the nuts. In 100 Funniest Moments in Australian Cricket, sports journalist, comedy writer and well-known cricket tragic Dan Liebke takes us on a hilarious journey through cricket history, showing us that good cricket is good, but funny cricket is amazing.

Dan Liebke is a comedy writer, who was a regular contributor to MAD Magazine in Australia for two decades before coming to his senses and turning his comic focus to cricket. In addition to a social media presence on Bluesky (@liebcricket.com), Dan has contributed articles making fun of cricket and cricketers to a variety of magazines and websites (including his own – liebcricket.com). He also co-hosts both the Can't Bowl, Can't Throw and Ridiculous Ashes cricket podcasts, and has written numerous cricket books, most of which have been published by Affirm Press (including The 50 Greatest Matches in Australian Cricket, The 50 Greatest Australian Cricketers and The 100 Funniest Moments in Australian Cricket, among others). Dan is a genuine all-rounder, equally inept with both bat and ball – and he steadfastly believes that cricket is the funniest, and hence best, sport that humanity has ever invented.
