Riassunto

Based on the diary of Tasmania cricketer Ed Cowan, this book includes the left-handed batsman’s thoughts on the game, other players, motivational philosophies, and records of performances. Funny and intelligent, it offers a view into cricket life on and off the pitch and what makes cricket tick for both its fans and players. Far from the glamour of playing for Australia and uncomfortably close to the long drop to amateurism, this narrative illustrates the pressure and excitement of a player when every match is rife with the possibility of being discovered and propelled into international stardom in the baggy green.

Tasmania batsman Ed Cowan eloquently expresses the average cricketer's lot in his brave new book... I can relate to Cowan. The game is as difficult as he makes out. And few have expressed that as bravely and lucidly. --Steve James, The Telegraph

A compelling read for any sports fan. --Ricky Ponting, Test Captain Australia, 2004-2011
