One of the greatest Australian cricketers, Allan Border, shares his thoughts about modern cricket and Australian cricket culture during his professional career. As a cricket newbie, I tremendously enjoyed reading this book, having the opportunity to know more about the history of Australian cricket and how one of the greats in viewing the evolution of the cricket. I liked his modesty despite his fame in the cricket world. He never sees himself as a better person and admits his shortcomings whenever he feels it is his fault. The last thing I really wanted to highlight is the memories shared by Dean Border about his father. It was beautifully written from the perspective of a cricket legend's son.

Great read

A really concise novel that doesn't dwell too much on any one part of his career. There are some interesting insights into the game of cricket and he doesn't talk too much about all the great mates his made in cricket unlike in other cricket books. A must for anyone who watched cricket in the 80s.
