{"product_id":"wisden-on-india-an-anthology-by-jonathan-rice","title":"Wisden on India: An anthology by Jonathan Rice","description":"\u003cp\u003eThroughout its long and distinguished history, Wisden has reported on Indian cricket around the world and commented on its highs and lows. One of the first references to a touring Indian cricket side was in 1889: 'Perhaps the most notable feature of the tour was the wonderfully successful bowing of Mr Pavri, who took 170 wickets at a cost of under 12 runs each'.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor a time, India enjoyed a golden age of cricket, largely through Lord Hawke's tours in the 1890s and then buoyed up by the exploits of Kumar Shri Ranjitsinhji who was chosen as a Wisden Cricketer of the Year in 1897. But there were set-backs to come, such as the team's 1953 'Worst Start in Test Cricket' which saw Trueman scythe through their top order at Headingley to leave the team in disrepair at 0 for 4 wickets after 14 balls. Recent decades have seen formidable players such as Ganguly, Laxman, Sehway, Dravid and Tendulkar lift India's game to great heights, making them a force to be reckoned with.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis anthology charts the progress of India through Wisden's pages, using match reports, articles, notes, obituaries and illustrations to bring this extraordinary team - and their equally extraordinary nation - to vivid and delightful life.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Book Express","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43566851457098,"sku":"2723ah","price":13.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0618\/9101\/8826\/files\/2723ah.jpg?v=1777943607","url":"https:\/\/www.bookexpress.nz\/products\/wisden-on-india-an-anthology-by-jonathan-rice","provider":"Book Express","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
