A vital contribution and a tremendous read,
By A Customer
This review is from: Pride and Passion: An Exhilarating Half Century of Cricket in Pakistan (Hardcover)
Pakistani cricket may be inconsistent and at times downright fickle but it is also breathtaking, brilliant and passionate. Along with the other cricketing powers from South Asia, Pakistan is the new hub of this glorious sport. And what a histroy it has had. Without a doubt it has produced some of the most talented cricketers over the last five decades and continues to churn them out at a rapid pace. Omar Noman's book brilliantly captures the evolution and the several mini-revolutions of this great cricketing tradition. A harmonious balance has been struck between the communication of facts which would interest the diehard fan and the telling of the tale which would interest even the uninitiated. This book fills the proverbial gap as far as decent books on the subject are concerned. This book is a must for all serious lovers of the game and highly recommended to all others. The writer clearly takes pride in the heroics produced by this cricketing nation and writes about them with passion. His enthusiasm is irresistable and makes the book very special.
