Needed something light after Henry James. I have read this before, years ago, and my impression hasn’t changed much - despite being vaunted as an ‘intellectual’ cricketer, I don’t think he has that much of interest to say.
He is quite good on the mood swings/oscillations of being a batsman full of, or without, confidence and lots of bits of life are like this. He is also quite amusing about coaching and management sports training. And you do follow his brief Test career from an insider’s view, again the swings and arrows of a batsman’s fortune. But that apart and it being the diary of a season (2002), it is of quite limited interest.
