Loading ...Gideon Haigh for me, I think (got to keep the bank manager happy…)
O/T - what idiot in the ECB agreed to three back-to-back Tests in Pakistan?
Cricket books and DVDs coming soon

I confess to not reading a great deal of cricket books. The last, and best, was Rain Men by Marcus Berkmann (thoughts on this here) which, according to Amazon, is now called Rain Men: The Madness of Cricket, which is perfectly apt.
Now the Ashes are safely back home (!), there are a flurry of books and DVDs coming out in their/our honour, all of which I suggest you pre-order from Amazon - and you can do that via me, to give me some extra money, by clicking on the links below!
First up is Michael Vaughan’s Calling the Shots which promises a rare insight into the mind of a captain. Not only that, but the mind of an English Ashes-winning captain - a must-read, therefore. Release-date November 7 2005, £11.39
Next is an Ashes Diary by The England Cricket Team. It could just be a load of photos, but is likely to make interesting reading. Release-date September 29, 2005, £10.79
I’ve mentioned Gideon Haigh before, and his latest book ought to be well worth reading. Ashes 2005: The Full Story of the Test Series. He’s one of the better cricket writers in the world at the moment, writes for The Guardian and almost everyone else. Release-date October 20, 2005, £6.99 (bargain, that one)
Perhaps most excitingly of all, a three-set DVD of the entire Test Series! The Ashes - England v Australia 2005. It’s Amazon’s top-selling DVD at the moment. Get this NOW! Release-date October 17, 2005, £14.99
As mentioned in January, Simon Hughes’ new book arrives on our shelves in October. His previous ones have been excellent, and this one should be equally entertaining. Morning Everyone: A Sportswriter’s Life. Release-date, October 20, 2005, £10.19
This one is available now; The Greatest Test, highlights of the Edgbaston nail-biter. You know you want it. £9.99
What a load of Ashes goodness there is - enough to keep you going for months. Enjoy!
