Ed Cowan, opening left-hand batsman for Tasmania, has always been a
bit of a scribbler. It started with to-do lists and notes to self,
but then he started keeping a cricket diary - a 'batting bible'
with thoughts on the game, other players, motivational philosophies
and records of performances. The diary has become so much a part of
his routine that he admits to being a little upset if he can't see
it in his cricket bag. Other cricketers have found the habit a
little odd. But for Cowan it's been a way of keeping an uncluttered
head and making sense of the game. In the Firing Line, based on the
diary Cowan kept while playing his second season for Tasmania over
the summer of 2010-11, reveals with intelligence and a touch of
humour the excruciatingly shaky position of the domestic cricket
player. It's far from the glamour of playing for Australia and
uncomfortably close to the long drop to amateurism, yet every match
is rife with the possibility of being discovered and propelled into
international stardom in the baggy green.
