The Angel I Never Met
Christopher Murray's life takes a turn for the better when he meets and falls in love with a rich young woman. But things turn sour when she learns of a night of indiscretion he had with a childhood friend. And then, Stephen Sterling, a wealthy man from Blair Atholl, conveniently shows up to offer Chris a suspicious job after his girlfriend kicked him out in the middle of the night. With no better options Chris accepts; it was a decision that would change his life forever.
The Art of Losing
Since South Africa’s readmission to world cricket in 1991, the Proteas have played in six World Cups (and four World T20 tournaments) and have been knocked out in all of them. The reasons range from the weather and misreading the Duckworth–Lewis table to being outwitted on the field itself. In the most recent tournaments, though, they have shown a scandalous lack of nerve in the pressure-cooker of international knockout cricket. Drawing from interviews with the major protagonists and behind-the-scenes officials, The Art of Losing recreates the drama of these matches. With fresh anecdotes, stories and insights, it also attempts to explain why World Cup failure has become a habit. Does the...
Limitless
The year 2007 was game-changing for Indian cricket. In March that year, Indian cricket was rocked by the early exit at the 50-over World Cup in the Caribbean. However, in the months ahead, the team picked up the pieces and charted a path to recovery. In the backdrop was the ICC World T20 2007 - the first ever world championship in the format. India opted to back the youngsters, led by Mahendra Singh Dhoni. There were no expectations or the pressure of history. In South Africa, MS Dhoni and his men dazzled the public and clinched victory in a dramatic final against arch-rivals Pakistan. A lot happened on and off the field in the months between India's nadir and zenith that year. This book explores those events and recounts how Indian cricket changed in those months. The ripple effects of that victory are felt even today as India's cricket loving public embraced T20 cricket and created a big market for the format.

Icons are named and shamed in a series of disclosures that zoom in on match-fixi...
The Sledger's Handbook
Sledging is the art of verbally intimidating a batsman so that he loses his concentration and gets himself out. It is also known as the art of initiating mental disintegration. The Sledger's Handbook is an absolutely hilarious romp through the history of the cricketing insult, from WG Grace to Shane Warne and his contemporaries. Who said cricket was a gentleman's game?
Do Different
Out of the box thinking, ruthless pragmatism and an innate ability to understand, define and then redefine the game of cricket are probably the hallmarks of Mahendra Singh Dhoni's cricket. From hitting countless sixes in his school ground in the sleepy town of Ranchi to finishing a run chase with another towering six in a World Cup final against Sri Lanka, Dhoni's journey is undoubtedly one of the most iconic of our times. Many have tried to decode his mystique, and yet, every account seems to have fallen frustratingly short of capturing the essence of the man. Instead, in Do Different, we offer diverse perspectives on the man: from a fellow wicketkeeper and competitor reminiscing on Dhoni's early years; to MSD's first agent with his perspective on the journey of brand Dhoni; to an international fast bowler who played with MSD since his first-class days and then starred for him in the Indian Premier League. From the matches and moments that defined Dhoni in the IPL, in international cricket and even off the field, to his life beyond the game of cricket, this is your ultimate MSD book.
