![]() ![]() This is not one I will read again in a hurry. The prologue where Ponting describes coming back to his club for a game after finishing his career is one of the best descriptions of a love for cricket that I’ve read. Similar to his stints in commentary, Ponting came across as very passionate and knowledgeable in this book. Frith is no Don Bradman fan either, reading between the lines. It tries to puncture some myths and definitely sides with the English viewpoint of the saga, which made it hard reading at times for me. This very long read is an in-depth history and analysis of the Bodyline series. They include Steve Waugh and Adam Gilchrist. It’s an entertaining read (who doesn’t love a list?) almost as much for Warne’s attempts to justify punishing those he didn’t get on with by marking them down in this book. It’s simply Warne listing his 100 greatest cricketers and then giving a bit of background. This book would have been better as a Roar article. ![]()
