The Commonwealth of Cricket Zusammenfassung

The Commonwealth of Cricket: A Lifelong Love Affair with the Most Subtle and Sophisticated Game Known to Humankind Ramachandra Guha

From one of Indias finest writers, thinkers and commentators, a memoir of a love affair with cricket.

As a fan, player, writer, scholar, controversialist and administrator, Ram Guha has spent a life with cricket.

In this book, Guha offers both a brilliantly charming memoir and a charter of the life of cricket in India.

He traces the game across every level at which it is played: school, college, club, state and country. He offers vivid portraits of local heroes, provincial icons and international stars.

Following the narrative of his life intertwined and in love with the sport, Guha captures the magic of bat and ball that has ensnared billions.

The Commonwealth of Cricket Bewertungen

A DAILY TELEGRAPH BEST SPORTS BOOK OF THE YEAR 2020

Guha is a distinguished historian, biographer of Gandhi, a courageous political activist and also an absolute cricket nut Watching a serious intellectual grapple with his own relationship with sport is always revealing [A] passionate, unique book Guhas totally in love, thats the thing and its the love that shines through on every page
Ed Smith, Financial Times

Guha also fills the same role within India that Scyld Berry and Gideon Haigh do in England and Australia. In other words, he is the deepest and wisest chronicler of his cricketing nation
Daily Telegraph, Best Sport Books of the Year, 2020

Guha is an historian, environmentalist, journalist and political biographer of wide-ranging distinction An engagingly generous celebration of cricket and cricketers, Indian andfirangisalike A book that should not be ignored
David Crane, Spectator

Delightful Guha, one of Indias best-known historians and public intellectuals, is a bona fide cricket obsessive His deep knowledge of the game allows him to bring a historians perspective when writing about players The Commonwealth of Cricketis a return to his cherished first love. It should be celebrated
Soumya Bhattacharya, New Statesman

Powerful The Commonwealth of Cricket is a memoir of his lifelong obsession with the game It is, not surprisingly, a delightful read but it also carries a political message
Emma John, Guardian

Guhas book is timely It is also at odds with the way many see the game in India today In that sense it is a love-letter to a game as it was and can be again
Mike Atherton, The Times

Enchanting Deeply enriching He writes about the game as he first knew it, with the unguarded fondness of youth
Paul Edwards, The Cricketer
