Paul Holden reviews Craig McMillan's autobiography, Out of the Park, in his blog, Sideline Slogger, and credits him for a comprehensive and straightforward take on the various subjects raised in the book.
There are fascinating chapters on the formation of the NZ Cricket Players’ Association, the bomb in Karachi, his move to the non-establishment Indian Cricket League and the 2004 tour of England (the “nightmare on the road” - who knew!). He also offers some intriguing insights into the player contract process, and its weighting in favour of Test players. With the rise of Twenty20, and the increased lip service paid to the five-day game, one wonders how much longer this can continue to be the case.
