Reading 'Days in the Sun'. It just fills by heart with pleasure as I read it. I intend to finish it in the ensuing fortnight and move on the 'The Fast Bowlers'.

Days in the Sun - is a great read with Cardus at his best. Enjoy

Hey Fred....I'd said I'd review that Sachin book, and I'm happy to, but it'll be 3 weeks before I get to it, so if someone else wants to do it while it's topical go for it....

Oh itstl. I am curious to see what kind of reviews does monk write

 

[Adders]

Ahhhhhh, now I see what's going on with Monks name change........this is a self preservation measure so he can review the book in the name of Red Hill, afterwards once the inevitable death threats and effigy burnings start, he can change back to his original moniker and sleep safe.

Cunning as a ****house rat..........if only Salman Rushdie was as thoughtful

So when are we getting Supreme bowling?

Lol, the Salman Rushdie reference reminded me of Smali's old post "Jesus has around 2.2 billion followers in the world, Muhammad has around 1.8 billion, Tendulkar has 1.2 billion."

Now that sounds like a book that will be well worth reading

The Eden Gardens book reviewed by Gulu Ezekiel on the main page looks pretty good. Having watched so many games at Eden, am keen on reading the book.

We have cut the number down to 211 but the final ton is still to be decided and then the writing will commence. Estimate would be mid 2015 but I am just one of the helpers so don't take that to the bank.

That was such a cool opening line though. One of my better ones
