CRICKET BOOKS
This week Jon reviews a collection of essays on Indian cricket, and is clearly impressed by what he has read
Not many Indian cricketers of Chandu Borde’s generation have gone into print before, making his a particularly welcome autobiography

This week’s five star book is an excellent study of a complex but important relationship
