I bought this book to improve my batting technique mainly. I was not expecting myself to be a start after reading this. However, this book alone may not be sufficient. If someone wants science & knowledge about cricket then this is probably the best. While I have not read any other books on same subject, I am sure I will still rate this high. And pleasure of watching Jack Kallis pictures with perfect technique.

A clear, easy to follow book about all things cricket. Makes it easy to improve my own game and to help coach others.
