I guess I'm going to have to get used to this book

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 29 June 2014

This book consist of responses to a questionnaire that is sent out to as many current professional cricketers as the editor can find. Up until the 2011 edition, the questionnaire didn't change much between editions. The questions it asked ranged from the obvious (name, date of birth, club you play for) to the random. The result was you got a bit of colour about the guy you were watching (particularly from the random questions).

The format was probably due for a change. You probably can't expect people (even cricket fans, who are fairly conservative) to fork out almost £20 a year for something that's too samey, but the problem is I'm not sure the authors know what to replace it with.The last couple of years the questions have been very cricket focused. That's understandable, but it reduces the "colour" we used to get about the players, and that's half the fun for people who've historically bought the book I think.

PLAYERS IRRELEVENT DETAILS

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 13 May 2014

Verified Purchase

In previous issues details of the players history and performance were based on cricket issues. Now its based on ; for example quoting details of
Harry Podmore

Desert Island Disc
Favourite TV
Heroes
What to do when I retire
Surprising fact - my little finger
Fantasy slip cordon
Accomplishments - not a lot really!
Non cricketing heroes

In previous issues the information was serious cricket information not irrelevant rubbish.

Unless it changes back to the earlier format I will not waste £20 again

I agree with other reviews, sadly it has gone off very badly for reasons stated. Will not buy again until it changes.
