Wisden Cricketers' Almanack was first published in 1864, and a new
edition has been published every year since then. While
limited-edition reprints of every edition of Wisden from 1864 to
1946 have been published over the past few decades, collecting
these limited-edition reprints is not cheap as each one has
normally been priced between GBP50 and GBP100. Now, for the first
time, John Wisden & Co is offering a bundle of the
print-on-demand reprints of the editions between 1916 and 1919, to
allow cricket lovers more affordable access to this historic book
which forms such a significant part of the game's great heritage.
Believe, Sachin Tendulkar told him - and he took it to heart,
getting the word etched on his arm as a tattoo. In this book,
Suresh Raina takes us through the challenges he faced as a young
cricketer. He was bullied in school and at cricket camps, but he
always punched above his weight, overcoming every adversity life
threw at him and never giving up. This is the story of the lessons
he learnt and the friendships he built. Peppered with invaluable
insights - about the game and about life - that Raina acquired from
senior colleagues like M.S. Dhoni, Rahul Dravid, Anil Kumble,
Sachin Tendulkar and Sourav Ganguly, among others, this book will
make you believe in the power of hard work, love, luck, hope and
camaraderie. It is a journey through the highs and lows in the
cricketing career of a man who saw his world fall apart and yet
became one of the most influential white-ball cricketers India has
ever seen.
