From the Publisher:
In 1988 cricketer Jonathan Agnew was at the crossroads... on the verge of forcing his way into the England team, yet on the point of quitting all together to become a broadcaster. The result was a masterly diary, 8 Days A Week, which drew rave reviews from journalists and is arguably the best cricket book of its kind yet published. Now available for the first time in softback, the book is a fitting opening title in First Stone Publishing's new series, SPORTING CLASSICS, which brings back into print a selection of the finest sports books published in the past 20 years.
From the Critics:
“Witty, sensitive, angry and constantly readable”
Martin Johnson, The Independent
“Irreverently witty and incisive”
Alan Lee, The Times
“Candour, humour and eye for anecdotal detail make Agnew's book fascinating”
Colin Bateman, Daily Express
“A minor miracle, combining objectivity, humour and understanding of the game”
Jack Bannister, Channel Four
“Moving, mirthful, realistic, intimate”
David Frith, Wisden Cricket Monthly

It's A Fact!
"In Shakespeare's time, mattresses were secured on bed frames by ropes when you pulled on the ropes the mattress tightened, making the bed firmer to sleep on. Hence the phrase, 'Goodnight, sleep tight.' "
