Jarrod Kimber, the Aussie author of the cult cricketwithballs blog, goes where other cricket chroniclers fear to tread in his 2009 series Ashes diary. From his couch, in the stands, and with occasional press passes from The Wisden Cricketer, Kimber produces a unique take on events on and off the field, and amid the humor and ribald ranting is a penetrating insight and love of the game that led to the "Guardian" to describing him as a 22nd-century cricket writer.
