[Dalan Mendonca · Rating 3 out of 5]

A really handy book if you watch cricket often and want to know some of the intricacies of the game. The book presents the finer points of the game in an engaging and easy to read fashion ; filled with pictures, quotes and anecdotes and covering both test and one-day cricket(though more of the former)..it makes for a fun read.

An excellent read for the technical aspects put in a v ery plain way for any kind of cricketer.
