About John
My name is John Cook and I'm a unashamed cricket tragic. I live in Brisbane, Australia and by day, am a cartoonist/web designer (check out my cartoons at Sev Wide Web and my web designs at PaperWeb Design).
I've had a long and proud cricket career, opening the bat for the Alexandra Hills Under 12's and Under 14's. My career highlight was winning the club's "Most Improved" award two years running. Unfortunately, at that point, I stopped improving and made the prudent decision to retire at 17 (when the bowlers started getting fast).
Since then, I've been a keen and passionate follower of the Australian cricket team. I religiously stayed up all night to watch the 2005 Ashes series (apart from the times when I got tired and fell asleep). For a while now, I've been dying for somewhere or someone to vent my cricket obsession to. Whenever I start a conversation with my wife with something like "So the first Test starts tomorrow...", her eyes glaze over. So here are my thoughts, comments and links to cool websites and articles I happen to bump into.
