I've read heaps.

 Many biographies and autobiographies turn out boring after they commence their FC career.

I'm currently reading The Wrong Un : Brad Hogg.

This is still interest in this after he commenced his  FC and International career. He was never sure of himself and his ability.

It has also been interesting to see how he developed in a career through playing bush cricket, not pursuing the Cricket Academy pathway everybody else has  undertaken in the current epoch.

Unlike other cricketers of this  era, like Ponting and Langer, he has had to work for a living too.









A great book was The Reasons Why : Bob Simpson.

He mainly talks about  coaching  an Aussie team when there were at their lowest  ebb, and,  improving the team.

Simpson  describes how certain payers like Wayne Phillips and Greg Ritchie, weren't prepared to do the work he required, so  he terminated their careers. Conversely, David Boon and Geoff Marsh had a great work ethic to improve their game.
