Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 I announced my retirement from international cricket on 21 December 2006, almost exactly 15 years after first appearing for Australia against India at the Sydney Cricket Ground. I was done, physically and mentally, and had the feeling that I’d run out of arse anyway. I knew there would be sadness. #2 I was first at the ground on Boxing Day morning 2006, before the rest of the team. I was nervous, and felt uneasy. I was excited to be bowling in my last Test match, and I thought about how I had enjoyed the past 17 years of first-class cricket. #3 I was extremely nervous before the toss, but I was excited too. I was told that the person who wrote the script had done a good job. I began to bowl, and I felt that both batsmen were surprised by the spin. I felt that I could get them out eventually. #4 I loved the challenge of bowling the England team, as I knew I could never get them out. I was able to block out everything else and focus on what had to be done in that moment. I was able to switch on and off, and I felt everything happened slowly and clearly.

Download or read book Slow Death written by Rudi Koertzen and published by Penguin Random House South Africa. This book was released on 2011-03-28 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For 30 years, batsmen around the world have feared the slow and deliberate way Rudi Koertzen raises his left arm to give them out - so much so that it has given rise to his nickname, Slow Death. Despite the sinister sobriquet, Rudi Koertzen remains one of the most loved and respected umpires in world cricket, and certainly one of the most experienced: to date, he is the only umpire to have stood in 200 One Day Internationals, and he has 100 Test matches under his belt. Now Rudi takes the reader back to some of the highlights of his career in Test, ODI and T20 matches, including several World Cups and Ashes series. From his unique perspective, he rates the cricketers he has umpired over the years - the best batsmen, bowlers and fielders - and gives reasons why they stand out from other players. He shares players’ hilarious on-field antics and, on occasion, histrionics. And he doesn’t shy away from discussing the controversial side of international cricket, from match fixing to terrorist attacks, while giving his frank and possibly controversial views on the use of technology in the game. Humorous, informative and nostalgic, this is the book every cricket fan will want to own.
