In <i>Late Cuts</i> he takes us beyond the boundary rope, sharing the parts of the game fans don''t get to see, from the food served at lunchtime (then - sweaty ham; now - quinoa, cranberry and feta salad) to the politics of the dressing room.<br><br>Whether revisiting his playing days to reveal the secrets of bowling a killer spell and what it feels like to be heckled by a riled-up crowd, or ruminating on the current state of the game (don''t mention The Hundred!), this amusing and insightful collection will delight all cricket lovers.</p>
