I hadn’t heard of him either, until I saw him reach his ton at the MCG (albeit in a losing cause) .

I was there! In front of the TV here in Noddyland just before 6:00 this morning, not actually at the MCG late afternoon, obvs.

First Kiwi ever to score a test ton at the MCG, they said. Sounds like a duff stat, but the commentators said it.

Looks interesting.

You could always write a book review of it for KC, of course.

Or take a photo of your copy of the book in an unfeasible place.

It’s really quite good if you followed England in the 90’s. It sort of follows my obsession with cricket if I’d been posher, and less male.

I can take the despair.

It’s the hope I can’t stand.
