...spanking new, gorgeously green, weighing a ton, has just arrived at my desk. I’ve been very sad the last few days because I had to pass up on this event (which I couldn’t plan for because of the London trip) - but now I’m happy again, as the poet said.This book (Out of My Comfort Zone) really is massive and I’ve spent the last hour turning it over in my hands and studying it from all angles (this sounds foolish but it’s very good exercise). And anyone who knows about Waugh’s career-long habit of maintaining tour diaries will know this should be one of those rare cricketers’ autoBs that isn’t ghost-written. Much fun ahead.
Its arrived! I was raring to lay my hands on this.. :)

ReplyDeleteI'm sure. Do post a few interesting bits, please.
Particularly interested in what he as to say about Lara.
you lucky little stinker.
ReplyDeleteI hope it is good. I know S will buy it and I'll get to read it. I read 'Sometimes I forget to Laugh' by Peter Roebuck couple of weeks back. I liked it.
ReplyDeleteSynopsis please !
ReplyDeletebtw, havent seen any cricket posts in ages- have u stopped writing?
Review please! I've got to do a review, also. I promise to change the first and last paragraph :-) So are you not going for the Goa film festival?
ReplyDeleteIts not out here in Blore yet! I checked all over!!
ReplyDeleteKishore: it's not strictly speaking out in Delhi either (should be in a couple of days though) - but you DO know I get these things in advance? One of the job perqs, muhahaha....
ReplyDeleteAnonymous: been out of the cricket scene for a while...but might start again soon, on another forum. Will provide an update here when that happens.
Would appreciate a review of the book on this blog. What say you? How much does it cost in INR, btw?
ReplyDeleteHey i was a very big fan of steve waugh until i read this book.B coz most of the incidents steve wrote about India were in a very bad taste.He made a mockery abt India when it was in testing times abt the kind of enviromnet in which we were living.So I suggest ppl not to read this book.This is how ppl look for excuses when they cannot achieve something they really wanted to.India was the only place where he was not able to register a Test series win.This might be the reason for Waugh's disliking towards India.
