John Wright's Indian Summers
Description
Batting, bowling and betting...Wright pulls no punches. Former New Zealand test cricket opener John Wright was appointed coach of the Indian cricket team in 2000. Against all predictions Wright - the first foreigner ever appointed to the position - held that position almost unchallenged throughout four successful, but often-turbulent years. In that time Wright was privy to the inner workings of Indian cricket and in this book he offers unique perspectives on the game that captivates a nation of one billion people. Throughout his coaching tenure Wright has faithfully kept a diary that has proved invaluable in chronicling his time on the sub-continent. Wright's first book was, by turn, funny, insightful and, inevitably, massively successful. In this book Wright - who enjoyed four hugely successful seasons with English county side Kent before taking up the big job with India - is set to open up. From the captaincy controversies to the idiosyncrasies of the Indian Board of Control; from the idolatry of the Tendulkars and the Dravids to the vagaries of the legendary spin bowlers, all is revealed.Stock Information
