Summary

Cricket's greatest legends. Sport's fiercest 
rivalry. Wisden's fakest diaries. 
 
 
CrickiLeaks charges headlong onto the players' balcony and imagines 40 
cricketing diaries of rare wit and invention, along with the illustrated book 
covers they might have inspired.  
 
 
 
Featuring spoof journal entries drawn from throughout Ashes history, 
CrickiLeaks reveals for the first time the innermost thoughts of the greatest 
cricketers of the last 129 years. And Mitchell Johnson.  
 
 
 
CrickiLeaks includes imagined diaries from players on the most recent tour 
(Andrew Strauss, Ricky Ponting), diaries from the all-time greats (Shane Warne, 
Freddie Flintoff, Sir Ian Botham, Geoffrey Boycott, Donald Bradman, W.G. 
Grace), as well as contributions from less obvious personalities. 
 
 
 
An irreverent and entertaining collection of Ashes diaries, CrickiLeaks finally 
lays to rest some of cricket's greatest mysteries: 
 
- What exactly was going through Gatting's mind as he faced the ball of the 
century? 
 
- Why did Ricky Ponting lose his rag with Ronald McDonald? 
 
- What really went on between Douglas Jardine and Daphne the Koala in Adelaide 
Zoo? 
 
 
 
A riotous and uniquely scurrilous addition to any cricket-lover's library.
Available since: 04/03/2012.
Print length: 128 pages.

    Dorothee Haering is a photographer and owner of the graphics and marketing agency "bildhaft", in Munich, Germany. Golf has accompanied she from her cradle, and most of her family has the bug too. Her grandfather practiced enthusiastically on a chipping green in his garden, and her father, a successful team player, regularly took her with him on the golf course when she was a child. At the weekends she was a proud caddy and accompanied "her players" throughout the tournaments and also briefly took part in junior training. Ever since she saw Jack Niklaus play golf 1972 in Munich she knew: she wanted to become a Golf Professional. Later, life had other plans for her and there followed an involuntary golf-intermission lasting thirty-eight years until the golf addiction broke out again with a vengeance. Her goal for her (second) golf career: she wanted to break 80.

    When John Timpson, chairman of the eponymous high street chain, bought his wife Alex a racehorse in 2002, a friend commented that it would be 'a marvellous way to lose money'.
    Soon they were immersed in a world of trainers' yards, Novice Hurdles and handicaps, and well on the way to proving the old adage that the best way to make a small fortune is to start with a larger one, and buy a few racehorses.
    As the number of horses increased and Alex became a well-loved figure on the racing scene, John kept a diary of their experiences on and off the track. This witty book describes how racing brought something extra into their marriage – from Mondays at Ludlow to the Cheltenham Festival. It documents the wins, near misses, disappointments and occasional tragedies that make up a racing career – not to mention the friends made, the knowledge gained and the sheer thrill of it all. 
    Under Orders is a joyous and humorous portrait of horseracing in Britain and a tribute to the owners whose dedication and enthusiasm make the whole thing possible.
    Sales of the book will raise money for the Injured Jockeys Fund.

    The Muscle Hypertrophy Workout Book: A Helpful Resource Guide on Different Ways To Build Muscles Contrary to popular belief, muscle size does not always correlate directly with muscle strength. In general, stronger athletes will have bigger muscles but this does not always hold true. And perhaps the best example of this can be seen by looking at Bruce Lee, who had relatively thin arms but was capable of performing some incredible feats. When it comes to building muscle, only half of the work is done in the gym. What’s just as important, is what you do in the kitchen and what you eat: eat wrong and you’ll be squandering all the effort you put in and all the opportunities for growth.In this audiobook, you will get useful tips on diet and exercise that will help you build muscles. You will also learn the effect of mindset and your emotions in your quest to achieve bigger and stronger muscles.This audiobook will discuss the following:- How to Achieve Athletic Aesthetics With Powerbuilding- How to Design the Perfect Diet for Building Massive Muscle- How to Get Into Running- How to Increase Your Energy Levels to Supercharge Your Workouts and Your Life- How to Increase Your Testosterone Levels- The Critical Importance of Emotion in Weight Lifting- These Are the Only Three Supplements You Need to Build Muscle- What is the Mind Muscle Connection- Why Training Outdoors is Important- Why You Absolutely Should Include Steady- And many more!If you want to learn more, scroll up and click “add to cart” now!
