Ed Smith has kept a private diary of his county cricket career right from the start - since he made three debuts in the summer of 1996, for Cambridge, Kent and Young England. But last year, encouraged by Australian captain Steve Waugh, he decided to do it properly. "Tell the truth as much as you can", was Waugh's injunction.
It's the story of the hanging in there and the holding on, the self-doubt and the frustration, the rows and the friendships. On and Off the Field does for cricket what Eamon Dunphy's Only a Game? did for football thirty years ago: it reveals to the outsider the private world of professional sport.
