Publisher's Summary

Many critics believe Adam Gilchrist is the greatest wicketkeeper/batsman to have played the game, but Adam's huge popularity does not rest solely on his incredible track record. To his millions of fans around the world, it is the way he plays the game - rather than simply the sum of his achievements - that marks him out as one of the best-loved cricketers of his generation.

True Colours is his autobiography, and like the man himself it's incomparable. With unflinching honesty, intelligence, compassion and humour, Adam takes you into the world of cricket that few outside of the Australian team have ever seen. From his early struggles to establish himself, through to the giant achievements of the Australian test and one-day sides, True Colours offers an extraordinary window on Adam, on cricket's major stars and on the game itself.

Excellent listen

Just like the player, this book is an excellent listen. Very humble, to the point and true to the character Gilly had. Excellent buy if you were/ are a fan of the player he was.

Great story from one of the best to have played

The story was great and there were times when you want to continue to listen forever. However, I still believe it could be edited by about 20% to make it more impactful. Otherwise it was an amazing peek into life of one of best cricketers to have played the game.

Interesting, could have been shorter.

Great to hear very candid thoughts from Gilly and its eye opening to see the kind of struggles he went through. Like he rightly called out in the epilogue people often think it came naturally to him but that's not the case. I feel this could have been a much shorter book had he avoided going on and on about how much he missed family and kids, how much he respected Healey, how Warnie's relationship with Bach was. Some it these were overdone, if you can be patient with that, it's a really good book. Easily could have been 30% shorter.
