Ashley Mallett Boeken

Na zijn sportieve prestaties werd hij een productief auteur en schreef meer dan 20 boeken. Hoewel de meerderheid van zijn geschriften ingaan op de sport cricket, heeft hij ook andere onderwerpen verkend. Met name een van zijn non-cricket werken werpt een licht op de opmerkelijke levens van Aboriginal activisten, kunstenaars en atleten.
