What is it about reading about reading that you find so enjoyable?
A good book gives me chance to escape the busy dressing room and quite often I learn something new too!

Why do you think reading is important?
It keeps the mind ticking over.

What are your top five reads of all time?
1. The Da Vinci Code - Dan Brown
2. The Count of Monte Cristo- Alexandre Dumas
3. All Out - cricket magazine
4. Four Four Two - football magazine
5. David Beckham's autobiography

My reading story
I started reading at school but sort of tailed off as I got older. Cricket is the perfect sport for getting back into reading......there's always time to fill when travelling to away games or if it rains during a match.
