Inhaltsangabe

Ed Smith kept a diary of the 2003 cricketing season.
It became a record of the most extraordinary summer of his life.



The highs saw him become the first domestic batsman to reach 1000 runs, make four consecutive centuries and get a shot at playing for England. The lows involved a horrific injury to his captain and then saw his promising international career end almost as soon as it began.



However, Smith's ability to conjure the thrill of the crease - the batsman's exhilaration and fear as he's hunted relentlessly by bowler and fielder - alongside startling insights into the game make this the definitive insider's book on modern cricket.
