Different strokes for different posts

I’ve just put up my first post, "The graph of a cricketer’s life", on Different Strokes, a new group blog started by Cricinfo. Predictably, the post is related to a book - the Steve Waugh autobiography. Take a look.

(And for more about Different Strokes, see this.)

  3. The review makes me feel like buying the book. That's what a great review does to you.

  4. Fool on the Hill: thanks. I don't want to seem boorish by dissecting a compliment, but it really wasn't a review at all - just musings that resulted from my reading the book.

    Moot point though - the book IS very, very good and if I get the time I'll write a comprehensive review of it soon (one of the problems is there's so much to talk about it gets daunting!)

  5. Just a day and a half? Wow!

    Evocative post- in particular, the last two paragraphs (before the post script). For the same reason, one feels for Ganguly, though I'm not sure if 'sorry' is the right word. I wonder how many others would be reflecting on their careers, in the manner that you have in the last para. Comparisons aren't justified, but it's difficult not to compare, yes? Nice post.
