Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Jarrod Kimber, the Aussie author of the cult cricketwithballs blog, goes where other cricket chroniclers fear to tread in his 2009 series Ashes diary. From his couch, in the stands and with the occasional press pass from the Wisden Cricketer, Kimber produces a unique take on events on and off the field. When he's not rubbing shoulders with cricket's glitterati, he's either rubbing Steve Waugh up the wrong way, fraternising with the npower girls or attempting to lick Richie Benaud's trousers. Unless he's threatening to strip Ian Bell naked, oil him up and make him practice in a giant birdcage, that is. But amid the bawdy humour and ribald ranting is the penetrating insight and love of the game that by the end of the summer had journalists of a more conventional nature tapping cricketwithballs into their search engines, leading the Guardian to describe Kimber as "a 22nd-century cricket writer". The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.…

Paperback. Condition: Very Good. English cricket fans will love Jarrod Kimber's second Ashes book, Australian Autopsy - Australian cricket fans perhaps less so! Employing his own unique brand of dry humour, Kimber tells the story of the events of the winter 2010/11 series, and England's record-breaking 3-1 victory Down Under. Described by the Guardian as "a 22nd-century cricket writer", Kimber's style is certainly refreshing, having little in common with traditional cricket writing either in literary or lifestyle terms. He travels around his homeland staying in flea-bitten motels, bonding in a beautiful bromance with fellow cricket writer Sam Collins, and getting whispered at by Cricket Australia officials. When Australian Autopsy isn't chronicling his dreams about Alastair Cook, it observes the English side ripping up the Australians' script, cutting deep into the national psyche and cricket system. A wholly original chronicle of life on an Ashes tour, the international cricket circus, and Kimber's home country. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.…
