Format:Kindle Edition
This book had me crying with laughter and laughing so much as I read it, that it made my wife laugh along without even knowing what It was all about. It is packed with anecdotes from, and tales of, cricket's greats (and nearly greats). My own favourite is Fred Truman's list of the things that make Australia so unique.
This is one of those rare books that is only a disappointment when the final page is realised. What a final page it is, by the way. To finish with the full dialogue between Jonners, Aggers and the TMS team on Botham's infamous "leg-over" dismissal, says it all. Hilarious.
