I got thru two-thirds of the Taylor book last night and will finish the balance by lunch time today. I won’t spoil the plot but “boy” I don’t think there’s been a bombshell book like this in NZ cricket since Rutherford’s book in the 90s. The reason I say that is that by the time McCullum’s book came out we’d already heard most of what he had to say in snippets over the years because he commanded the narrative and the media. Ross on the other hand has kept his powder pretty dry - until now. Ross brings fresh personalities and angles to a story that won’t go away. Dylan - unfortunately I would say your fear has come true - the captaincy saga gets a LOT of attention which is sad in a way. On the other hand it is hard to put the book down….
