Cricket with Balls by Jarrod Kimber. Every cricket blogger goes there at least once a day, if not twice. We go there to be inspired, to learn how the soundest of cricketing opinion can be expressed in the most humorous of ways.
It seems Jarrod, referred to as Uncle JRod in our brethren, has written another book. This one is titled “Ashes 2009 – When Freddie Became Jesus”. Its a discourse on the 2009 Ashes series featuring the cheekiest of POVs from The Wisden Cricketer Press Pass holder.
Consider this exclusive excerpt:
"He’s such a pleasure to watch that if I were a mad billionaire who hosted parties that people came to, just because there was a lot of booze and freaky sh*t going on, I’d hire Ian Bell, strip him naked, oil him up and make him practise his cover drive for hours on end in a giant birdcage. Test cricket, though, isn’t that simple."
If you found this funny, be rest assured that this particular piece of text is just a teaser of what you should expect from the book. Available at just over 7 GBPounds, it is a steal if ever there was one.
Prepare to get in bed with famous cricketers, and still not question your sexuality, or commitment (whichever applies to you).
Prepare to tickle every tickle-worthy bone in your body.
Prepare to be amazed.
