Cricket Odyssey is a skilfully executed, lovingly constructed, book: a literarycelebration of over a century-and-a-half of cricket. It has narrative and characterstudy blended in a dexterously refined, yet readable form. It not only managesto pervade the essential of the essentials of some of cricket's greatest players -from Dr W G Grace to Steve Waugh; from Sir Don Bradman, Sachin Tendulkar toRahul Dravid; from Sir Learie Constantine and Sir Gary Sobers to Jacques Kallis;from Ray Lindwall to Wasim Akram; and, from Clarrie Grimmett to Anil Kumbleand Muttiah Muralitharan - but, it also brings to life a classy and effulgent cricketing collage.More than a lively, encapsulated grandeur of individual brilliance, or cricketingchemistry, of each player epitomised in its canvas, Cricket Odyssey explores notonly the many-resplendent delights of cricket, but it also delineates a deftlywoven work of art - of the game's scientific foundation, art and grammar, andits players' phenomenal exploits, acts of courage, grandeur, and 'shortfall.' Ajourney through nostalgia, and a living monument to a living philosophy, it is, insum, a 'must-read' and 'must-keep' book for all avid cricket fans across the globe.
