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
