  1. Hi there,
    Just wondering if there is any way I might be able to obtain contact details (just an email address is fine) for Martin Lenehan, to enable me to contact him about his latest cricket book, featured on your site. I’ve looked on the internet for some sort of contact with him but can’t find any – would you be able to assist please?
    Thank you and kind regards
    Marcus
