Wonderful reading ..and well chosen by the editor.
The sentiments expressed in the last page will continue to be pertinent in the new emerging India.

[Vedant · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book will make you fall in love with the game, if you weren't already. And by the 'game' I refer to cricket as being an equal contest between bat & ball, not the 'tamas ha' version that we must do with today.

The author's love, respect and knowledge of the game makes you want to come back to this book time & again.
