DESCRIPTION:
A self portrait emerges of a man who has spent fifteen years at the top: years which have wrought changes - political, commercial and tactical - in the way cricket is played and promoted; changes too, in the man himself, as he reconciled his Muslim upbringing with the professional and personal pressures of being an international sportsman.. He tells of his life and the game he loves: from his childhood in Lahore, to his student days at Oxford (where he led the University team), his time at Worcester and thence to Sussex, culminating in his captaincy of Pakistan. The author, now 35, is one of cricket's greatest all-rounders and the retiring captain of Pakistan's team
A Customer said A tiger writes about his hunts and times when he was hunted. Imran Khan is perhaps one of the few mega stars in sports who are equally at home with a pen or a cricket bat. The book tells us about his experiences as a young lad in the 70's, his encounters with the Carribbean fast bowlers and how they terriorized his entire team including himself. Imran Khan is perhaps the only cricketing legend. The Lion of Pakistan A Customer A candid, no holds barred view of cricket especially as it pertains to Pakistan. Describes the greatness and pettiness of this game and the politics that surround it. We probably won't see a leader like Imran on the cricket field for a long time to come, but maybe he can become Pakistan's PM one day.. One of the best cricketing books of all time. A Customer Imran Khan, writes about his cricketing career.Besides that we can also read his veiws on a vide range of topics, including marriage , Pakistani culture as well as politics. Once I picked the book up I COULD NOT put it down. Highly recommended for the cricket fan.
