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. Batting, bowling and betting...Wright pulls no punches.
