Thanks for watching and welcome to Part 5 from my self-published book in August 2023, "The Spirit of Cricket".
Please see the link below for the paperback version of this, my fourth self-published book, and three ways in which you could support me and poke the traditional publishers who refused to even read my manuscript!

Here's an extract from the chapter read in this video, and chapter 9 of a total of 41 from a book I'm immensely proud of:
"At 6.30pm local time yesterday evening, 36 year old Australian opening batsman Usman Khawaja left the field at 4 not out with his opening partner David Warner, and after a 20 minute spell at the end of the day that was the very definition of a no-win situation. Warner and Khawaja simply had to survive a tricky few minutes at the end of the opening day of The Ashes and this they did without any alarms, major or minor. Exactly 24 hours later and after 6 and a half hours of playing time on a batsman friendly wicket, Usman Khawaja left the Edgbaston field once more, this time in the company of his wicket-keeping batsman Alex Carey but once more undefeated, not out, and with a colossal 126 runs against his name on the scoreboard, and his team just 82 runs adrift of England on 1st innings. In an almost faultless display, the Pakistan born batsman was given an extraordinary cricketing “life” on 112 when Stuart Broad clean bowled him with a beautiful delivery that beat his defence emphatically, however, and in what typified today’s display from the hosts, Broad had overstepped, bowled an unforgivable no ball, Khawaja was reprieved, and still stands not out overnight and eager to kick on with a big score come tomorrow morning, and perhaps even beyond".
Thanks for watching!
