This week Archie reviews a biography of Barry Jarman, who kept wicket for Australia 19 times between 1959 and 1969, captaining his country once, against England in 1968.
As he is celebrating Archie has been a little self-indulgent this week, but in light of the inevitable lack of sleep he is forgiven – many congratulations to him and Mrs Mac.
We are grateful to Gulu Ezekiel for taking a break from preparing the final draft of his revised biography of Sachin Tendulkar in order to let us have this review.
Ashes captains have been lending their names to tour books since Victorian times. This week David has been reading the most recent of these, from Andrew Strauss.
