Thread: good cricket books you have read

Has anyone read any good cricket books lately? I read Mahanama's "retired hurt" recently. That's one of the best cricket books if not the best I have ever read. That book covers practically the entire Sri Lankan test history. Very exciting. He talks about 95/96 Australian series, World cup victory, Murali , Arjuna's high handed but very effective ,competitive captaincy and almost everything else about Sri Lankan cricket.

I haven't read Aravinda's book yet. The other books I liked were Viv Richards and Michael Atherton's. Wasim Akram's book was not bad. But Imran's three books are just like the man himself. Very arrogant and egoistical. Boycott's book about 1981 west indies series is another good book. The books I would love to read is Steve Waugh's diaries series. But here in Toronto it is very hard to get any cricket books. But hockey , basketball ,baseball and even lacrosse books are dime a dozen.
