equatorWriting a book is cool.
Finding a publisher is pretty cool.
Selling more than 12 copies is cool as fuck.
Getting nominated for best new sports writer by the British National Sporting Club is kinda fucked up.
But, I did.
I am not sure how, or why, but for some reason the mainstream is letting me sleep in the pornographic cupboard they pretend they don’t have in the guest house.
My book won’t win, you can’t make jokes about killing Richie Benaud and win, but, as they say in the cliches, it is nice to be nominated.
Weird but nice.
Unfortunately my book is not nominated in the same category as Stuart Broad’s book, best illustrated ( I didn’t even know Broad was a photographer).
Also, and you should chuckle a little about this, somehow I was not nominated for best publicity campaign.
If by some chance I do win, I promise to snob every one of you in my acceptance speech, but i will quote something from a film or song that has no relevance to the award at hand.
If one of you hasn’t bought the book already, go get your hands on this award nominated piece of ass.

Congratulations Uncle Jrod. You rock and I hope, so does the book.
Last I heard Stuart Broad’s book had sold 61 copies. This was an officially audited figure
Congratulations!
I hope to one day be able to read this fine piece of literary ass (…and there’s a sentence I never thought I’d ever type) if Amazon ever gets around to delivering it to the dusty wasteland I am forced to spend the next year of my life in.

I think your next book should include a bit of twincest in it.

“Last I heard Stuart Broad’s book had sold 61 copies. This was an officially audited figure”
it’s not about what stuart broad’s book is doing now, it’s about what stuart broad’s book might do in the future. sure at the moment it might seem undeserving of the prase, veering as it does from brilliant to abysmal, often on the same page, but you need to think what the book will be like in 5 years time.
Nice one! anyone in Australia selling it yet?
Cheers
Matt

Future conversation of Shane Watson Envy with cock-head mate:
“Have you read CWB blog, its fantastic” – cock-head mate
“I used to read it before it was cool, he has totally sold out now, he is much the Offspring, had one jaw dropping album the very quickly became aged, weary and all about being a fly white guy, with no musical talent – but you know, that’s a metaphor” – Shane Watson Envy
“Fuck off” – cock-head mate
Congrats! Why did Barbie get nominated? Does the book have pictures of him in his prom dress?
I bought the book. I thought it would be good, but it’s better than that. It’s really good.
I’m in Australia too – got it from bookdepository, it was cheap and here within the week.

Cheers everyone.
Bitter Lover, I was told I was outselling Broad’s book and I got really excited, then they told me his numbers and i put my pants back on.
Andy S, that comment was in the right area.
Matt, not yet, hoping for next summer.
SWE, I agree.
CM, He didn’t, the book did, he didn’t take the photos.
MJ, thanks mum.
Congrats uncle……i believe you deserve it.
Good luck man. Knock ‘em for six.
