A Million Broken Windows: The Magic and Mystique of Bombay Cricket
About the Book A CRICKETING HISTORY CAPTURING THE SPORTING SPIRIT OF THE CITY OF BOMBAY. There was a time when Bombay was almost synonymous with cricket in India. A Million Broken Windows is the story of how that came to be: of the players who filled the gullies and maidans of the city with their exuberant and institutively skilful play, of the coaches who spotted talent and created opportunities for their boys to grow, and of the crowds that came to cheer their teams, weekday or weekend. Together they ensured that, whatever the result, the joy of competing and pushing oneself, and others, to do better was never lost. Since the inception of the Ranji trophy, Bombay has lifted the trophy forty-one times. Its batsmen and bowlers have had starring roles in match after match, across tournaments, formats and continents. Captains, coaches, administrators—Bombay has contributed to the game in every possible way. The book is both a tribute and a testimony to the conquestorial yet generous spirit that animates the game in the city that is the birthplace of cricket in India.
M R Baig
At the time of writing this book, Mirza Rahmathullah Baig is possibly India’s only living cricket coach from the yesteryear. An Indian Navy veteran, former Services & Hyderabad Ranji Cricketer and North Zone Duleep Trophy player, he played a pivotal role as the South Zone Coach in several National Camps in the years leading up to India's first World Cup victory in 1983. With a career spanning over six decades, M.R. Baig has trained an astounding number of over 28 International Cricketers, 35 National Cricketers, and hundreds of cricket players at state, district and school levels. Described by many as a ‘Legend’ and a ‘Master Craftsman’, Baig Sir's passion for the game and his commitment to excellence is unmatchable. For him, coaching is not just about teaching the technical aspects of the game, but also about instilling the right values and mindset in young players. With testimonials of some of the India’s most important and eminent cricketing legends, this book presents the untold story and vision of M. R. Baig, who helped shape the careers of some of India’s greatest cricketers and silently paved the way for India’s rise to dominance in the world of cricket.
