Quotes by Anindya Dutta (?)

“In the Summer of '48, Don Bradman, at the age of 40, led a team of players across the oceans with intent, with resolve, with enormous talent in their ranks, and with the dogged will to win all they could. They showed the world that, at least for that wonderful post-war summer, they were truly Invincible.”
― Anindya Dutta, A Gentleman's Game: Reflections on Cricket History

“Sport has a way of finding characters who se impact goes well beyond the playing fields, and touches the core of what life means. War, and its experiences, unfortunately has sometimes played more than its fair share of a role in shaping such men.”
