What struck me about this book was the realisation that all one day matches tend to become a blur with only a very few standing out. The fourth match of a 5 game series doesn't really mean much in the scheme of things and as a result there was little to get excited about in this book. The book is nearly 20 years old now and that too affects the impact of it. There is no doubt he could play, I can recall watching him in a shield game at the Sydney Cricket Ground once, but I have read far many more enjoyable cricket books then this one.

Its not got controversy, and doesnt tell us too much that we dont already know, but its still a very good book that gives the story behind Bevan's best knocks in his own words. Open and refreshing, anyone who likes cricket will like this book.
