Cricket is more than a matter of bat and ball, of physical skill and human ability. Confidence and the right mental approach are as likely to win a game of cricket as loss of nerve or lapse of concentration are to lose it. With this perspective in mind the author investigates the impact of the psyche on cricket. How do batsmen cope with fear? and what can a captain contribute to his team? are just two of the questions tackled in this book. Interviews with cricketers such as Viv Richards, Imran Khan and David Gower add to the content of the book.
