Product Description

Review

Devour in one go or relish in the bathroom: the new one from Tyers and Beach is compelling either way --ESPN Cricinfo (May 2011)

Beautifully illustrated and hilarious ----Sport Magazine

Product Description

Cricket’s greatest legends. Sport’s fiercestrivalry. Wisden’s fakest diaries.

CrickiLeaks charges headlong onto the players’ balcony and imagines 40cricketing diaries of rare wit and invention, along with the illustrated bookcovers they might have inspired.

Featuring spoof journal entries drawn from throughout Ashes history,CrickiLeaks reveals for the first time the innermost thoughts of the greatestcricketers of the last 129 years. And Mitchell Johnson.

CrickiLeaks includes imagined diaries from players on the most recent tour(Andrew Strauss, Ricky Ponting), diaries from the all-time greats (Shane Warne,Freddie Flintoff, Sir Ian Botham, Geoffrey Boycott, Donald Bradman, W.G.Grace), as well as contributions from less obvious personalities.

An irreverent and entertaining collection of Ashes diaries, CrickiLeaks finallylays to rest some of cricket’s greatest mysteries:
- What exactly was going through Gatting’s mind as he faced the ball of thecentury?
- Why did Ricky Ponting lose his rag with Ronald McDonald?
- What really went on between Douglas Jardine and Daphne the Koala in AdelaideZoo?

A riotous and uniquely scurrilous addition to any cricket-lover’s library.

2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing 9 Sep 2011
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
After the hilarity of their W. C. Grace Ate My Pedalo, this is a laboured effort, raising few spontaneous laughs. Would not recommend this.

5.0 out of 5 stars CrickiLeaks: great gift for the cricket lover!! 15 Sep 2011
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
Really funny made-up diaries of England and Aussie cricketers with cool cartoons. A bit more modern and less for the hardcore cricket fan than their WG Grace book. I'm new to cricket and found it really funny and accessible! The stuff about Fred Flintoff and some of the other England and Oz players of the last few years was hilarious. Although Ricky Ponting might not agree! Good gift book for a cricket fan, light read, and plenty of jokes.

Five Stars!!
