Autobiography of a flea movie
All good sporting autobiographies dig below the surface to expose inner feelings and motivations to underpin achievements. Alastair Cook succeeds in this by theming the chapters to deal with issues around life as an England cricketer and captain.Yet at 33 he called time on his England career.
Come with him as he relives the fraught hours on the pitch, the desperate lows and astonishing highs, the paralysing anxiety that can send the best back home and the extraordinary battle of wills with yourself, the opposing players and even those supposedly on your own side.
This is cricket as you've never seen it.
The view from the inside . . .
