Megan is the granddaughter of the great Victorian and Australian batsman Bill Ponsford after whom a grandstand is named at the MCG.

She is a Ponsford and proud of it!

Megan is also the author of two books, one a photographic record of the Melbourne Cricket Ground including some wonderful behind the scenes areas that are not generally seen by the public and the other titled “The HAS-BEENs and NEVER-WILL-BE's, A boys own adventure of Australian cricket and the Raj“ is a fascinating insight into Australia’s first cricket tour to India in 1935/36 albeit an official tour.

We chat, of course, about Megan’s grandfather and her publications and current projects.
