A great exploration of cricket

I have been a Cricinfo reader for many years, and body of cricket literature the site has put together over the years is astounding. And now they have started putting them together as books and every cricket fan should be grateful for it.

Talking Cricket is a real pleasure. It is an amazing collection of interviews conducted with the some of the greatest players of the game over a period of time and each interview gives you great insights. I loved ones with Martin Crowe and Virender Sehwag ...

Good Collection

The book contains thoughts of some great cricketers and umpires.
The book is great to read if you are a cricket lover and want to know the views of great players about the cricket.

What quality each player had different from another.

My favorite is : Interview of Simon Taufel

The way he changed the standard of umpiring in cricket is simply great.
Great to have this book.

Talking Cricket: A must read for all Cricket lovers

This is a must read book for all those who love Cricket. Its a collection of interviews by Cricinfo with some of the greats of the game. It has got people right from Sir Gary Sobers to Virender Sehwag and one can notice while reading only that the game has changed! Nice to know the different perspective of different people on the game.All the interviews are superb. But if I have to select top 5, it would be conversation with Ian Chappell, Micheal Holding,Pataudi, Nasser Hussain and Jonty Rhodes.

Nice but below expectations

Was really excited when this book was launched. But it was below my expectations..Or maybe as I have been following espncricinfo for a long time, maybe my expectations were too much.
