Writing a bestseller is a piece of Christmas cake if you are a well-known cricketer and have a good ghost writer. And more the controversies, better the sales. Kersi Meher-Homji provides a blueprint in Mid-Day.
After a tour of bitterness and rancor, the player heavily involved in the hullabaloo hires an experienced ghost writer and instructs him to be as ruthless as possible.
"Find me a good quote which will make the front page of leading dailies in Australia and around the cricketing world," he instructs his ghost.
"But I gave you a nice one for your Diary last year," suggests the ghost. "Do as you are told," the star hits back.
