Imran Khan, The Great

A very nice account of his memoirs from his Cricket playing days. A great read for any Pakistani Cricket fan and any Cricket fan in general. Imran was no doubt the best thing that ever happened to Pakistani Cricket.

The Lion of Pakistan

A candid, no holds barred view of cricket especially as it pertains to Pakistan. Describes the greatness and pettiness of this game and the politics that surround it. We probably won't see a leader like Imran on the cricket field for a long time to come, but maybe he can become Pakistan's PM one day.

A Book About A Brave Fighter In and Out Of The Field.

It's a very interesting and descriptive book on Imran's spectacular career and his road to glory. Leader's like this bring revolutions and change the face of earth.LAHORI

A tiger writes about his hunts and times when he was hunted

Imran Khan is perhaps one of the few mega stars in sports who are equally at home with a pen or a cricket bat. The book tells us about his experiences as a young lad in the 70's, his encounters with the Carribbean fast bowlers and how they terriorized his entire team including himself. Imran Khan is perhaps the only cricketing legend who does not indulge in self praise and this can be easily confirmed from this book; he dodges the most crucial subject i.e how he transformed a bunch of losers into a potent force which could take take on any team in the world on any ground. He however breaks a lot of idols in the book which so far have been passionately revered in cricket. Anyone remotely interested in cricket and how it is played and why it is all about mental grit and inner toughness and not just skill and dexterity should consider "all round view" a text book.

One of the best cricketing books of all time.

Imran Khan, writes about his cricketing career.Besides that we can also read his veiws on a vide range of topics, including marriage , Pakistani culture as well as politics. Once I picked the book up I COULD NOT put it down. Highly recommended for the cricket fan.
