REVIEW QUOTES
On the surface, a straightforward diary of a batsman's season.
But delve in and you are taken deep into the psyche of the journeyman county cricketer,
a place of fear, paranoia, self-loathing and, just occasionally, joy.
Wagh takes you on this journey with a disarming honesty.
Robin Martin-Jenkins, The Wisden Cricketer
His writing has the elegance and delicacy so evident in his batting.
It's hard to think of a more candid, more insightful account of the travails of a professional batsman.
It won't be a surprise, in years to come, if he is known more for his writing than his batting.
George Dobell, Spin
This is far from a run-of-the-mill rush into print.
Mark Wagh eschews sensation, and the book is all the better for it.
You have to warm to him. He gives a real sense of what the life and the game are all about.
Clive Porter, Cricket Society Journal
Beautifully written, lucid and concise. For an analytical, informative review
of what it takes to succeed on the county treadmill, this is about as good as it gets.
Andy Hunt, All Out Cricket
