Steve Waugh Tour Diaries?

I'm planning to buy Steve Waugh's 1997 Ashes diary. Has anyone read it? And from all his tour diaries which one is the most impressive?

I really enjoyed his '95 WI diary.

But he was probably a more skilled writer by the 2000s.

I have his autobiography. He goes into detail about most of his career in that book. It's quite good.

I’ve got all of them, and maybe it’s because the format got old really quickly, but after about the 1995 Windies one, they’re all the same and not particularly well written tbh. They aren’t horrible, just not that great. His magnum opus is pretty well written though, and if you’re choosing between getting the tour diaries or the autobiography, I would run with the latter, provided you don’t mind a really long read

As a kid, they were good for the pictures and the social tidbits on your favourite players. And now they are good for 90s nostalgia. His photo one (images of Waugh) was quite good. Not as good as Mark Ray's though. Cricket: the Game behind the Game. Love that book.

So, I as for now I will pick his autobiography. And thanks "burr" for mentioning Mark Ray's book...this should be interesting!
