The story of one obsessive fan's unlikely ambition: to bowl just
one ball at his childhood hero, Sachin Tendulkar. From the very
first time he'd ever watched the 'Little Master' bat, as a
12-year-old boy, Adam Carroll-Smith had been transfixed. He dreamed
not just of bowling to Tendulkar, but of actually knocking over his
off stump. Just one problem: he was never really much of a
cricketer. However, determined not to let such a small detail stand
in his way - and eager to settle an old score with a childhood chum
- Carroll-Smith earnestly set about achieving the unthinkable
during India's 2011 tour of England. A hilarious summer ensued as
he attempted to live out his fantasy, fending off the attentions of
over-zealous fellow fans, crazed Italian spiritualists and his
meddling best friend - not to mention the dozens of blazered
officials and luminous-jacketed stewards standing between him and
his hero.
