Synopsis

THE #5 TIMES BESTSELLER
SHORTLISTED FOR BEST AUTOBIOGRAPHY IN THE TELEGRAPH SPORTS BOOK OF THE YEAR AWARDS 2020

Ever wondered what it's truly like being an England test cricketer? Why not ask England's greatest ever bowler?

Jimmy Anderson invites you into his world of cricket and gives you a very personal insight into what it's like playing at the top level. Through stories of his 16-year international career, Jimmy draws back the curtain on test cricket to reveal bizarre superstitions and rituals, strange training camps, the personalities he's encountered, life on tour and what it's like being a bowler in a batsman's world.

Bowl. Sleep. Repeat. is a fascinating, entertaining and deeply personal look at the game of cricket and what life's like beyond the boundary rope.

About Jimmy Anderson

Jimmy Anderson is the greatest pace bowler of all time. With the final ball of the 2018 season, he surpassed Glen McGrath's record for test wickets. His skill and mastery of swing bowling has pushed him to third on the list of all-time test wicket takers. Over a 16-year career, he's bagged more than 570 test wickets and 850 international wickets in total. Jimmy has won four Ashes with England and taken cricketing legend Sachin Tendulkar's wicket more times than any other bowler...Not bad for a Burnley lad who only ever aspired to have a Peugeot with his name on it.

Having read a lot of books on cricket, it was my first book which belongs to a bowler and out of sub continent. Honestly speaking as the title suggests it's not a autobiography per se but feels more like a conversation with him. Unlike other books, it gives a good account on what goes inside the min......more

Goodreads review by Rachel on September 02, 2019

I don't normally read much non fiction, nor biographies. But this was on a 99p offer, I really enjoy cricket and Jimmy Anderson is a fellow Lancastrian. I'm glad I spent the 99p because it was very entertaining. My only complaint was that it raced along too fast. If you enjoy cricket, you'll enjoy t......more

Enjoyed this - I like the way it was in different sections than the usual autobiography and the tips on how to hold the ball were really good (if not 30 years too late in my case!)......more
