Review :
"Surreal and splendidly humorous" The Scotsman ? Top Sports Books of 2006 "Highly entertaining" The Independent on Sunday ? Book of the Week "Truly amazing!" Birmingham Post "One of the funniest sports books of recent times." Yorkshire Evening Post "Top five must-buy cricket books of the year." The Scottish Cricketer "Deserves to be as big a hit as the blow dealt a cricket ball on the bridge over the Bosphorus, propelling it from Europe into Asia." The Daily Telegraph "A hilarious, easy read bursting with manic energy and youthful exuberance? rich with dry humour and completely free of pretence... Between Polish brothels and a Bosnian minefield, he has produced a fine first book. I await his next with anticipation, ready to be knocked for six again." Rory MacLean, The Guardian "Very Funny. Dave Gorman meets Andrew Flintoff in clothes borrowed from Billy Connolly".Hugo Rifkind, The Times Cricket World Magazine "I challenge you to put this book down... Even if you aren't interested in cricket, by the time you?ve finished you will be. This is a beautifully written work that will have you laughing out loud". The Independent World Cup Special magazine ? full-page ad. The Wisden Cricketer Magazine ? two articles and reader's review ? "the most extraordinary and hilarious cricket book I've seen" Packed Magazine ? full page interview and review ? "Seriously entertaining" The Guardian ? Lawrence Booth ? review and competition ?
