Book Synopsis Mid-Wicket Tales a Century and More of Cricket by : S Giridhar
Download or read book Mid-Wicket Tales a Century and More of Cricket written by S Giridhar and published by Speaking Tiger Books. This book was released on 2023-08-20 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 2014, Mid-wicket Tales is back almost a decade later, in a revised and expanded edition to delight and entertain cricket fans and scholars alike. Humorous and richly detailed, this marvellous series of essays-written by two 'incurable cricket romantics'-tells the characterful story of one of the most beloved sports in the world. A seamless blend of theories with statistical data, technical assessments, and charming anecdotes, the essays range in theme from Kapil Dev's batting style; big-hitting superstars like Victor Trumper, Viv Richards, and Virender Sehwag; the fearsome pace of Michael Holding; the magical close catches of Eknath Solkar and Bobby Simpson; and the mastery of Sachin Tendulkar; to delightful evenings spent with the dashing Salim Durani and the fabulous M.S. Dhoni, and illuminating conversations with the cerebral stars, Rahul Dravid and S. Venkataraghavan. This revised edition also has superb new essays where we learn of Mahatma Gandhi's involvement with cricket, discover the integral role of video analytics in modern-day cricket strategy, and experience the brilliance of women's cricket, which has taken the world by storm.
Download or read book Mid-Wicket Tales written by S. Giridhar and published by SAGE Publications Pvt. Limited. This book was released on 2014-07-09 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Written with the passion of a fan and knowledge of a cricketer, Mid-Wicket Tales: From Trumper to Tendulkar is for all genuine lovers of cricket from every cricketing nation. It celebrates cricket in all its hues and brings alive the rich history, romance and technical nuances of the game, where diligent research and analysis is blended with rare and interesting anecdotes. Even as the essays reflect the authors’ passion for the game, there is a perspective, balance and tolerant objectivity right through the book. Thus, if they lavish praise on Rahul Dravid for his batting or the wondrous all-round skills of Garry Sobers or the incomparable slip catching of Bobby Simpson, they also admire the less successful test cricketers, for there are just a few thousand test players in 137 years of international cricket. It is the sort of book one can reach out and spend 30 minutes on any number of occasions, just like meeting old friends.

Book Synopsis The Captains' Tales by : David Fulton
Download or read book The Captains' Tales written by David Fulton and published by Random House. This book was released on 2011-04-01 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: No one feels the heat of an Ashes battle more than the captains of England and Australia. The weight of national expectation, and more than 120 years of history, is on their shoulders from the moment they walk out to toss a coin and start a Test match that is like no other. The Captains' Tales offers a unique insight into the minds of a generation of captains from two great nations, who share with the reader what it feels like to call the shots in Test cricket's greatest cauldron. From Mike Brearley's cajoling of Ian Botham during the famous summer of 1981 to Ricky Ponting's revenge mission of 2006-07, each Ashes captain from the last quarter-century reveals what made him tick, his vision of where he wanted to take his team and how he handled key characters within the dressing-room. The author, former Kent captain David Fulton, delves behind the scenes for clues about how these sporting generals constructed their battle plans and uses his own experience to determine their strengths and weaknesses as leaders of men. The Captains' Tales will strike a chord not just with cricket lovers but with sporting captains of all abilities and readers who seek a greater insight into the broader issues of management and leadership.

You would be amazed to know that once, a lieutenant colonel of the Indian Army drove down nearly 500 km from his post in Dharamshala to lead the Indian team for a test match in Delhi. Or this other time, when Indias famed spin trio was unable to make a breakthrough, the vice-captain suggested a left arm pacer to bowl spin and the latter ended up taking five wickets! There was an Indian spinner who once bowled 131 consecutive dot balls. Another tail-ender once had his jaw fractured while batting but refused to come off in the interest of the team. These and many such fantastic stories embellish the glorious journey of Indian cricket. And like any story, the tale of Indian cricket also has magnificent characters many of whom you know about. But also, many whose tales are less told and have been lost in the sands of time. Read on for more such fascinating tales and know about The Forgotten Sons of Indian cricket.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Once, there was a cat named Mouse. Vicki W. Fowler, DVM, met him when he was half-grown, on the day his owner brought him in to be destroyed because he was a "dirty" cat. Unable to convince the owner to pursue a less-lethal response, Dr. Fowler offered to find the cat a new home. But young Mouse had other plans. He quickly appointed himself the clinic's mascot and Dr. Fowler his new human companion. For sixteen memorable years, Mouse made life more interesting for Dr. Fowler and her staff. She has owned (or been owned by) a long list of cats, but none more memorable than Mouse. In his honor, Dr. Fowler now shares some of her favorite stories from her nearly forty years in practice. As is the custom, names have been changed to protect the innocent, but the stories are all true. Dr. Fowler was the first woman veterinarian to own her own practice in New York's Capital District. She shares the tales of the many who touched her life, from her first cat in the early 1950s, through veterinary school in the 1960s, and her decades of private practice. Her memoirs celebrate the many people and animals who graced her life and who were there for her through the death of a child, a divorce, the raising of her children, deaths of pets, health problems, and retirement. They all shared in her joy and her sorrow, and she in theirs.
