Artist Biography
Available in:
Kerry James O'Keeffe (born 25 November 1949, Hurstville, New South Wales) is a former Australian cricketer and a former commentator for Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) Radio. O'Keeffe played 24 Tests and 2 ODIs between 1971 and 1977.

O'Keeffe had varied careers post-cricket including as a commentator on ABC Radio and occasionally the Nine Network. He was known for his humorous anecdotes, told in the manner of an after dinner speech at a cricketers club, and his distinctive laugh. He especially seemed to enjoy working with overseas commentators such as India's Harsha Bhogle whom he enjoyed confusing with his colourful Australian language. However when he concentrated on the game he showed insight born of a career at the highest level together with study of the statistics and history of the game.

In 2004 he released his autobiography According to Skull. He has also released a number of CDs containing some shorts of his commentating antics.

On 27 December 2013, while providing commentary on the Melbourne Boxing Day Test between Australia and England, O'Keeffe announced his retirement from commentating after the Sydney Test in January 2014.
