Book excerpt: How many of us have ever had a great dream? Be it as basic as clearing a competitive examination or making a mark in any field of your choice. We all have had great dreams at some point in our life and while pursuing it had to make sacrifices and suffer setbacks, emotional and material, be it skipping parties because you have an early class the next day, failing romances aggravating your insecurities or just the fear of leaving your comfort zone because you yearn for something more. Those of us who have dreamt know the price of it. The time it takes, the patience it requires and the sacrifices made in the journey. And for many of us who dream the pain of failure is all too familiar to not forget. How many of us can say that even after all the hardships and frustrations we have not given up and have been true to our dream? When life has thrown failure in our faces, how many of us have managed the strength to play our second innings?

Book excerpt: Fast bowler, six-hitter, popular hero, one of the lads, king of the jungle - Andrew Flintoff is all of those things. Second Innings, is his searingly honest yet uplifting autobiography, Flintoff reveals unseen, surprising sides to his career and personality. The restless need to push and challenge himself that led him to take up professional boxing. The complex and troubled relationship with discipline, alcohol and authority during his exhilarating cricket career. The search for an authentic voice as a player, free from the blandness and conformity of modern professionalism. Is Flintoff the last of his kind, in any sport? Through all his highs and lows, triumphs and reversals, this book reveals a central tension. There is 'Fred' - performer, extrovert, centre of attention. Then there is 'Andrew' - reflective, withdrawn and uncertain. Two people contained in one extraordinary life. And sometimes, inevitably, keeping the two in balance proves too much. We are taken backstage, seeing the mischief and adventure that has defined Andrew Flintoff's story. Above all, we observe the enduring power of fun, friendship and loyalty - the pillars of Flintoff's career. At ease with his faults as well as his gifts, Andrew Flintoff has sought one thing, even more than success: to be himself. If you enjoyed Do You Know What?, you'll enjoy this memoir of Freddie's sporting career.

Download or read book West Indies at Lord s written by Alan Ross and published by Faber & Faber. This book was released on 2012-07-17 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Every so often a Test match offers such high drama as to transcend the series of which it was part. Such a battle was the second Test between England and West Indies at Lord's in June 1963. Wisden called it one of the most dramatic played in England. Alan Ross's eyewitness account amply evokes its excitement. Lord's was packed with supporters of both sides, and the two teams, led by Ted Dexter and Frank Worrell, were very strong. West Indies had Garry Sobers and the pace attack of Wes Hall and Charlie Griffith, against whom Dexter's first innings 70 was noteworthy. Fred Trueman took 11 wickets for England, though he could not stop a colossal century by Basil Butcher. But England's final innings run-chase would be distinguished by one courageous knock from Brian Close, and a commensurately brave effort by Colin Cowdrey.
Download or read book Through the Caribbean written by Alan Ross and published by Faber & Faber. This book was released on 2012-11-29 with total page 213 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1960, against most predictions, the England cricket team won their first ever series in the West Indies. Even against a home side boasting Hall and Watson, Worrell, Sobers and Ramadhin, the visitors - fuelled by the bowling of Trueman and Statham and a batting order including Dexter, Barrington and Subba Row - emerged triumphant over five tests. Alan Ross describes the action in graphic detail, including some violent scenes at Port-of-Spain. And as always he paints vivid pictures in words of all that he saw outside of the cricket grounds, from Spanish Town, Jamaica, to Nelson's dockyard in Antigua, and the carnival in Trinidad. 'Alan Ross has established himself as one of the most graceful and cultured of cricket writers.' Times
