Haigh presents no new facts or interview material. On Warne is a book about a man who has been in the public eye for two decades, his life subject to constant scrutiny and frequent scandals. His previous cricket books have usually been works of history rich with research or collections of his articles. Thompson penned novels, but Haigh writes about pretty much everything else.ĭespite seemingly covering all aspects of sport, politics and business this is something of a departure for Haigh. James mixed his cricket with socialism and A.A. No other cricket writer, present or past, has bridged subjects as diverse as the BCCI and backroom abortions, Warwick Armstrong and asbestos. On the same journey my wife read his book on abortion in Australia. I read On Warne, Gideon Haigh’s latest offering, during a long train trip. On Warne David Mutton | 12:00am GMT 13 January 2013
