Mind The Windows: Tino Best - My Story
Fiery West Indian cricketer Tino Best lives life in the fast lane – on and off the pitch. He was one of the quickest bowlers ever to have played the game, consistently exceeding 90mph in an eleven-year international career in which he roughed up – and got out – the best in the business. And if he played hard on the pitch, he played just as hard off it, living the playboy lifestyle with girls across the globe. In the middle, Best was never short of a word or two. He took his first Test wicket after giving Graham Thorpe an earful, he went nose-to-nose with Pakistan star Shoaib Malik in one heated exchange and later had to be separated from Kieron Pollard during one pugnacious argument in...
Mind the Windows
Fiery cricketer Tino Best lived life in the fast lane - on and off the pitch. He will go down in history as one of the quickest bowlers ever to have played the game, consistently exceeding 145kph during his 11-year international career for the West Indies. His easygoing personality, charm and willingness to live the playboy lifestyle made him one of the sport's most exciting personalities. In this revealing autobiography, he tells all about his antics on and off the pitch, including the 'sledging' incident with Freddie Flintoff at Lord's in 2011 which has become part of cricketing folklore. From racism storms, to sex scandals and dressing-room battles, this is the story of a cricketer who has seen it all.

Who will survive and who will forever be broken? Or will the Deliverer be able to change the destinies of their actions to produce an outcome more glorious than any of them have imagined? The Deliverer is about temptation, worldly pleasures, privileges and Christian values. Grace Jotas...
Why Are You So Fat?
When hefty Zimbabwean chicken farmer Eddo Brandes kept on playing and missing to an increasingly frustrated Glenn McGrath, the Australian had had enough and decided a bit of verbals were called for: 'Oi, Brandes, why the hell are you so fat?' Quick as a flash, the answer came back: 'Because every time I shag your missus, she gives me a biscuit.' Few games have such a rich history of sledging as cricket, with the Australians famed masters of the art. This collection, featuring contributions from talkSPORT's own Darren Gough and Ronnie Irani as well as many other cricket stars, brings together the best examples from around the world. To be effective, sometimes the sledge can be funny, as when Andrew Flintoff urged Tino Best, who was struggling to lay a bat on the ball, to 'mind the windows' at Lord's. Best immediately charged down the pitch to attack Ashley Giles' next ball and was stumped. But sometimes an element of real menace can do the trick, as when Malcolm Marshall commented to a struggling David Boon: 'Now are you going to get out or am I going to have to bowl round the wicket and kill you?'
Final Test
The deafening noise in the Wankhede turns to silence so complete that you’d swear you can hear Tendulkar’s footsteps as he begins the walk back to the pavilion. It’s the end of an era, they said. No more switching off televisions when he got out; no more resounding chants of ‘Sa-chi-i-i-n, Sa-chin!’ In November 2013, Sachin Tendulkar played his final Test. Dilip D’Souza builds on close and detailed observation of those two and a half days, capturing all the hysteria it spawned, the love and adulation that showered from the rafters at the Wankhede, the choking emotion, and yes, there was a match on too, against the West Indies. Final Test discusses cricket from the old to the new, as Sachin takes to the pitch one final time.
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?
O BRAVE ‘NEW NORMAL’ WORLD: Living with Coronavirus
He’s back stronger than ever! But have we conveniently forgotten the furore around the presidential election results and the Capitol riots? Refresh your memory in this book. He may have been resurrected, but many other leaders fell by the wayside during the cataclysmic post-pandemic aftermath. In Britain leadership became a merry-go-round of comings and goings. Elsewhere, Australia, New Zealand, Brazil and Germany all changed leaders for one reason or another. But Putin, Lukashenko and Xi are still with us - for better or for worse. We should learn from our past, but it seems we don’t. Trump aside, the Middle East conflict has flared up worse than before, and many of the other global conflicts and tensions that are highlighted in this volume are still with us unresolved. All the posturing and platitudes that emanated from the anger surrounding George Floyd’s murder proved as useful to addressing the real issues as someone offering ‘an unreserved apology.’ Meanwhile, the rich get richer and the poor poorer.
