Batsmen are the poster boys of cricket. They are the richly rewarded andrightly celebrated stars of the game: Sachin Tendulkar, Vivian Richards, Brian Lara, Ricky Ponting, A.B.de Villiers and Kevin Pietersen. This is a story about them. Their hopes and fears, their triumph and torment. It is a book about the real feelings that batsmen experience and probes into their minds to see how they deal with one of the most precarious jobs in sport, in which life and death are one ball apart. Simon Hughes hero-worshipped the famous batsmen of his youth, and dreamt of scoring a hundred for England. His flawed attempts to make runs in a 15-year professional career are the prism through which he reflects on how some talented boys turn into great batsmen, and others lose their way. Now universally known as The Analyst, Hughes assesses what ingredients a batsman needs to succeed. He delves into sports psychology, showing that what goes on in the mind is the key to batting. There is no right way or wrong way to bat. This book reflects the diverse range of batting personalities and styles. Hughes spends time with many of the legendary players - from Garfield Sobers to Kumar Sangakkara - revealing what made each of them so prolific, and the secrets behind Sir Donald Bradman's phenomenal output. He chronicles the way batting has evolved and answers the fundamental question: are batsmen born or made? Written in the same wry, sardonic style as the award-winning A Lot of Hard Yakka, it is the most insightful and entertaining book about batsmen ever published.

'He dribbles a lot and the opposition doesn't like it - you can see it all over their faces' - Ron Atkinson 'Rugby is a good occasion for keeping thirty bullies far from the city centre' - Oscar Wilde Whether over the moon or sick as a parrot, sportsmen and women can invariably be relied upon to come out with a humorous quote...even if it's not always intentional.

The book covers the full gamut of the sports spectrum and provides over 4,000 side-splittingly funny quotes - some examples of incisive sporting wit, others inadvertent howlers never to be forgotten; ranging from the cutting remarks of Brian Clough and Muhammad Ali to the studied observations of John Arlott and the hilarious gaffes of Murray Walker.

Telling fables in an entertaining manner has been an old practice, but with Swami and Jigneshbhai, Ranjit Kulkarni packages new-age contemporary wisdom with a humorous coating in his style of combining the mundane with the meaningful. When Swami, the impatient bloke with a heart of gold, and Jigneshbhai, his wise, calm friend and advisor get together to talk over coffee, their questions don't stop and the answers keep coming. This book is a collection of such thought-provoking coffee conversations on everyday situations and questions between the two friends. What’s inside us that is our own enemy? Can you be a player and a commentator? Is structure better or is flexibility better? How should we measure what really matters? Do we play for an invisible audience? Is following passion better or is profit paramount? Can big things be achieved by levelling up? Is it important to do something wonderful or something worthwhile? Are great insights in plain sight? Is social media making us antisocial? Do we live in a world that has a deficit of trust? How important is hanging on to our identity? What is true risk? Find out entertaining and enlightening answers to these and many more such questions by reading the fifty coffee conversations in “Food for Thought.” For lovers of short anecdotal prose peppered with wisdom, humour and wordplay, ‘Food for Thought’ is not to be missed.
