Almost finished this, not a bad read so far (aside from the arse licking of everyone he works with at Sky in the first couple of chapters)

Laughed out loud a few points, some brilliant stuff about his opinions outside of cricket too.
 

i have one as well. good read. got mine for £3.99 from the cheap book shops

i think it is virtually the script from the stage show
 
have you seen that youtube vid of him on some Aussie show talking about getting a Thommo ball in the gnads? very funny, and he tells it like a stand-up.
 
Love when he talks about his standard response as an umpire when someone asks why he turned down an LBW shout

"Well it was close ... And I'd of been guessing .. Do you want me to start guessing when you're batting?"

Better than the lad who turned down my plumb LBW on Monday who said it wasn't out because "two balls to go"
 
Bumble's a great laugh, he does go a bit OTT on the name dropping in the opening bit of his book but he's up there as one of best commentators that sport has ever seen.
