Did he say which players of his era he admired?

Hopefully Lara, Warne, Ponting, Mcgraw.. All guesses cos I haven't looked...

Mcgrath.

The whole "monkeygate" episode was an embarrassment to Indian Cricket and even as a massive fan of Harbhajan over the years he is quite simply a díck. Symonds is no angel either but I hope that sort of issue never arises again.

“Among the captains I played against, I consider Nasser Hussain the best. He was an excellent strategist and, even if some of his tactics occasionally bordered on the negative, he was a very good thinker on the game and was proactive.”

According to his book, he actually had his first taste of international cricket playing for Pakistan vs india in 1987... Think Pakistan were a fielder short and he fielded instead and complains in the book that had imran Khan had him at mid-on, he'd have taken a catch

These autobiographies are funny. Some stories are just blown out of proportion.

I'm just in the middle of reading KP's book. Even though he tries to justify each and every argument he had, he just comes across as a right handful.

IMO i dont like some of this autobiographies. Tendulkar despite his personality and strong image, he is very afraid to talk about delicate things. Things like IPL spot fixing, india's poor away form. He just doesnt seem to have an opinion.

Whereas Dravid always gives strong opinions about such issues. He is not afraid to help the team out.

Isn't Dravid more conservative and measured in his comments, and not prone to hyperbole?

Certainly Tendulkar could says match-fixing is bad and should be dealt with sternly, etc, etc. But, that would not make interesting reading. More specific and juicy information could drag him into legal issues pertaining to slander. So, I suppose he had to play it right, bat and pad together.

I getting my copy for Christmas. that's if theres any copys left
