Wouldn't they all? Call me old fashioned but leave the autobiography's to the legends of the game IMO.

Can't wait to get my hands on Dirk Wellham's greatest hits.

Darren Berry, that must've sold a heap, I'll check out his family tree to work out exactly how many copies sold.

Yes both are very good on the radio, the guys on ABC shit all over the Channel 9 team. My favourite ABC commentator is Dirk Nannes.

yeah he is also very good. who would have thought getting guys that are articulate and know their stuff instead of boys club buffoons could be a good thing.

I find listening to the cricket on the radio is always refreshing after watching the cricket on TV and listening to those buffoons.

It was written after the Hookes incident. It had a little bit of currency to it.

Just had to box up my cricket books as I'm rebuilding the back room. Counted 380 and I reckon there's a couple inside the house. Plus a few Tour Guides and a 40-50 magazines. The missus ain't happy, yet guess what I get for Father's Day and my birthday from the kids?

We've just done some painting/recarpeting which required things to be moved around the house - a book shelf full of cricket books being one of them. The heavy hints came, but I repulsed them. It has got me thinking, though...

Getting hard to justify when I have a massive collection of CDs and LPs also in the house. Something might have to give.

A change in the CD storage may have appeased Mrs DW.
