Cricket
McGregor has been a cricket commentator and political columnist for The Australian, and cricket writer for The Spectator, and currently Australian Financial Review. McGregor is also the author of a book, An Indian Summer of Cricket, published on 24 November 2012. In a 2012 review of the book, Tony Abbott, then federal Leader of the Opposition, described the book as "the best sort of book about sport" for "those who think that sport can be a metaphor for life". Abbott called the Chief of Army's launch of the book "a fitting salute to [moral] courage"
