An Audio Book which I have enjoyed listening to over and over again. Makes the day a whole lot better. Not offensive in the slightest way.

.The Wit of Cricket 2
City Travel Guides > Books > Sports- Hobbies and Games
by: Richie Benaud, Dickie Bird, Henry Blofeld, Brian Johnston, Fred Trueman

November 01, 2007
I really wanted to like this. I found "Wit of Cricket" an absolute delight. So when I saw Vol 2, I had to have it. When I heard it, Oh dear......As John Lennon said, "you can't reheat a souffle". The tracks are a mix of live after dinner speech clips and studio recordings, and for me thats the problem. The studio recordings lack the bite and charm of the live bits, and completely kill the CD for me. This is a real shame, as I really wanted to like this.
As my old school reports sometimes said - Not a bad effort, but must try harder.

.Being Freddie: My Story So Far
City Travel Guides > Books > Sports- Hobbies and Games
by: Andrew Flintoff

October 10, 2005
"Being Freddie" is little more than a series of accounts of Andrew Flintoff's role in various matches he has played since his emergence in the late 1990's as an all rounder in the mould of Ian Botham. There are no great insights or memorable anecdotes in this book from Flintoff, just summaries of his greatest matches and minor detail about his back and ankle injuries and his beery nights out with the lads.We don't get a lot of insight into his family life and upbringing. Andrew Flintoff played a significant role in helping England to some notable Test triumphs which seem to have peaked with 2005's Ashes victory. He is an exciting and talented cricketer (when fit), but this book fails to convey what makes him tick and a rounded portrait of the ... Read More:
