Sports books

Just finished Night Games by Anna Krien - got the William Hill Sports Book of the Year so I thought I'd give it a go. Very engaging read and I trashed it out in three sittings.

It shines a terrible light on sports and male sportsmen in Australia. Some of the stuff that went/goes on is beyond the pale. Even aside from the 'Night Games' the attitudes towards women is truly shocking.

Our old friend Ricky Nixon features prominently in one chapter - doesn't cover himself in any glory at all.
