FEW COMMENTS MADE BY THE CRICKETING EXPERTS.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 

The inexperienced School Boy Cricketer, the semi experienced club cricketer even the much experienced Test Cricket, as well as those involved with Cricket Training at all levels and even the Cricket Enthusiasts, are certain to find this Manual Indispensable.

It identifies hundreds of common erors, mistakes and negative factors and provides remedial measures and forethought to overcome them, by conditioning not only your body but also your mind, to bring the best out of you.

A totally different, high quality book.  It is an excellent investment to increase the essential practical knowledge, on all aspects of the game.
