[1] Reviewing Slipless in Settle in Wisden, Gideon Haigh referred to Pearson as "an extremely funny writer who turns a phrase like a doosra".
[2] Writing in Wisden on Pearson's biography of Learie Constantine, Kamila Shamsie praises his ability to retell "Constantine's actions on the cricket field, with crackle and fizz ... His descriptions of Connie's fielding heroics are a particular delight".
