James McOnie

I think – Is he the tell-all type guy?

Sorry, I mean to do the ship, do you think?

Look, I wouldn't say he'd go full lifting the covers and just slag everyone off though, a la Glenn Turner.

How many stories are there to tell?

Yeah.

We already know everything there is to know about our favourite athletes.

I don't know if there's the market anymore as much as there certainly was for sports autobiographies.

I remember the world used to stand still for a moment when your favourite athlete would bring out an autobiography.

Totally.

You're about to find out some new things that you never found out about.

How does the process work?

Do you know about it?

So will, I don't know, a hypothetical writer, let's say Dylan Cleaver, would he sit down for a coffee with someone and then you find out things pretty quickly or do you have to spend a lot of time with him to...

Early days.

Life in the team.

Yeah.

Life as a captain.

Have you heard the story that Kane Williamson's bat is on the cover of the White Stripes album?

Yeah, the one, I think it's Elephant...

The Elephant album, his, Kane Williamson's.
