The Inside Story of The Australian Cricket Team's Tour of India - 2013 Find out what "really" happened on the Tour of India through the wickedly outrageous chronicles of the 17th Man as he picks over the daily entrails of a Tour gone wrong in his parallel cricketing universe. Australian Cricket Tours of India always start with winning expectations that are ever so slowly deflated by stifling days watching dusty pies belted over the boundary ropes and a curry smorgasbord that runs through you like the Ganges. Mental disintegration under pressure is nothing new. Add the spice of HomeWorkGate, persecution of the Mohali 4, debilitating on-field performances and a dash of sledging and you have enough explosive to shake the pillars of Australian cricket. NOW WITH ILLUSTRATIONS BY JOCK MACNEISH What Readers Say "Funny, considered, intelligent humour which struck a chord for me as a cricket fan" "Warwick Todd with bite "
