About this listen

Ever wondered what it's like playing Test Cricket?

What really goes on tour and beyond the boundary rope?

Here, for the first time, the world of a pro cricketer is revealed, and the man pulling back the dressing room curtains is one of England's greatest ever cricketers: James 'Jimmy' Anderson. 565 Test Wickets and counting.

Written with Felix White - musician, cricket enthusiast and Anderson's co-host on BBC Five Live's phenomenally popular podcast Tailenders - Jimmy invites us all into his world of cricket. Full of test-match sized stories and 20/20 anecdotes, this book contains everything you've dreamed of asking a top cricketer. And Jimmy provides the answers and insights into this world on and off the pitch.

We tackle the big questions. And, importantly, the small ones:

Do cricketers really watch Countdown instead of the Test whilst waiting to bat?

What are those conversations in the slip cordon?

And what does he eat as a tailender?

This book has shown me a side of Jimmy Anderson that I hadn’t seen before. He interviews badly and always seems so grumpy on TV, that was all I knew.
The beginning of the book was as I thought - constant moaning about life in general, but then it picked up, and was actually very humorous!
I really liked the parts with Swanny and Broady giving their interpretation of the same moments as Jimmy.
Wish we could have had the same from Alastair Cook too.
All in all an enjoyable listen

Much better than I thought it would be
