I've already read one excellent book on cricket this year, Cricket as I See It, by Allan Border, and have just finished another which is just as good.
For anyone who is interested in cricket in Australia, I highly recommend reading Whitewash to Whitewash, by Daniel Brettig, the story of Australian cricket from 2007 to 2014. This was a time of great change and Brettig tells us all about it. He is a cricket journalist for ESPNcricinfo and uses all his journalistic abilities in this book.
