fetcheveryone 2 Oct 11:05am, 2 Oct 2024 31,097 posts	0 fetcheveryone Has anyone else read 'Rain Men' by Marcus Berkman? I'm re-reading it, having sought it out on my bookshelf earlier this week. Along with 'Fibber in the Heat' by Miles Jupp, it's my favourite cricket book. Any other recommendations for this style of cricketing account?
GregP 2 Oct 12:18pm, 2 Oct 2024 153,840 posts	0 GregP Hold on - is Fibber In The Heat kindle-friendly? It could be the hotel pool book I need for next week. as in does it rely on pictures to tell the story - distinctly Kindle unfriendly

Any other recommendations for this style of cricketing account? Fibber in the Heat is brilliant. I've read it twice! Mini Nico read it in Corfu last month. Fatty Batter by Michael Simkins is another good cricket book
