Doing My First Lines

It's not cricket news but I have signed with a publisher to produce my first book of poetry! A life long ambition - to be published - it will become a reality over the next few months. The collection will feature 42 poems and a collection of my black and white photography.

I have led a blessed life, full of many highlights but none as fulfilling or exciting as this. The birth and growth to adulthood of my children and the ongoing ride with my wife are greater achievements but everything else falls in behind this ... including that first century or that first pfeiffer which secured a premiership!

Hey Pete,
Great news!
You must be absolutely over the moon about that.
So nice to have some recognition after all these years of putting your soul down on paper.
Any chance your book will get a second look?

Quotable Quotes

"Jofra is still very young in his Test career. Jofra's learning about himself and the game of Test cricket and equally Joe is learning to captain him as well. " Chris Silverwood, England Coach 24/11/19
"This limpet-like desire to stay in the middle, searching every part of himself to do so, is something that was first glimpsed well away from the spotlight, and then seen when he was granted that oft-criticised chance to bat No. 3 against India in January." Daniel Brettig on Marnus Labuschagne 24/11/19
"There were probably times where it was a bit of a dream. We just fought, dug in and played a brand the Australian cricket team wants to play." Tim Paine 11/10/18
"I've worked my backside off for the last 10 years of first-class cricket, day in, day out. People think because of my relaxed nature ... that I've been gifted to be able to get to where I am, but it's not the case at all." Usman Khawaja 11/10/18
"It was tough going, a real grind, and credit to them. It was some real quality bowling. I thought we were just about through that." Aaron Finch 9/10/18
"Alastair has been the rock of England's batting for the last 12 years since he made his debut and while we are all sad to see him retire, we must rejoice in what he has done for our country," Graham Gooch (4/9/18)
"That's my opinion: we've either got to say, 'it's all out there, warts and all', or put out what he recommended we should do going forward, because to me, that's the key. It's about what we can do in the future to make the game better, not necessarily what we've done wrong in the past." Mark Taylor, talking about the review of Australian cricket culture. (2/9/18)
