    Any recommendations for a good book on cricket?

    I'm currently half way through "Stiff Upper Lips & Baggy Green Caps: A Sledger's History of the Ashes" by Simon Briggs. An absolute classic for any cricket fan.

    Any recommendations for other humorous cricket reads?

    BQ: I've heard that "Balham to Bollywood" by Chris England is also good. Anyone read it?
    PS: I can also recommend "In a League of Their Own: 100 Cricket Legends Select Their World XI" by Richard Sydenham. One for the diehard fans. Interesting that Gary Sobers was the most picked player, Bradman fifth highest and Tendulkar sixth highest.
    BBQ: Can you guess which players were second, third and forth most selected by their peers? Watchlist the Q, I'll post the answer when I pick a BA.
    Fxcking legends you blokes!

    Hints for BBQ: 2 Batsmen, 1 bowler. One of which is Indian (yes sorry fellas, even before Sachin and the Don).
