Extremely interesting. It is well written and well organized, thanks to Saad Shafqat and it contains interesting bits about Miandad, thanks to interesting cricketing life of Miandad. For me most the highlight was the insight it gave into Miandad's mentality and how his brain worked.
A riveting read. Full of interesting anecdotes, this is one book you would not want to put down. One cricketing biography that I reckon was fun to read from start to end. Best after Steve Waugh's Out of My Comfort Zone
Probably not written by Miandad himself. However, an intriguing and compelling read into Pakistani cricket from the late 70s to the mid 90s including his constant rivalry with his captain, Imran Khan.
I don't know why I read it. If I remember correctly it was the only new book in that run down St. Thomas' library. Don't remember much, except, oh what a strange guy.
