Many thanks to my friend Danie for this book. Though Danie is not a BookCrosser herself, she's mailed me the book saying it has 'BookCrossing written all over it'.
"It seemed like a simple enough idea: assemble a team of eleven men to play cricket on each of the seven continents of the globe.
Except - hold on a minute - that's not a simple idea at all. And when you throw in incompetent airline officials, amorous Argentine colonels' wives, cunning Bajan drug dealers, gay Australian waiters, overzealous American anti-terrorist police idiotic Welshmen dressed as Santa Claus, Archbishop Desmond Tutu and whole armies of Pitch invading Antarctic penguins, you quickly arrive at a whole lot more than you bargained for."

I actually started today, ended up reading Julian Clary's autobiography first. It was a library book, so it took priority. Now have time to sit down and enjoy my present, thanks again Danie!
