One of a family of eight first-class cricketers,Imran Khan is one of the game's greatest all-rounders,whose lithe,aggressive power is admired,even feared by competitors and spectators the world over.In 'All Round View' he tells of his life and the game,from his childhood in Lahore to his student days at Oxford (where he led the University team),his time in English County cricket,culminating in his inspired captaincy of Pakistan and the 1988 tour of the West Indies.It is the impassioned, sometimes controversial view of one who has spent fifteen years at the top: years which have wrought many changes - political,commercial and tactical - in the way cricket is played and promoted; changes,too,in the man himself,as he reconciled his Muslim upbringing with the professional and personal pressures of being a glamorous international sportsman and national hero.Based on his own life and experiences in the world of cricket,'All Round View' is an articulate,revealing and deeply thoughtful book about both Imran himself and the game he loves.
