Dont Judge the book by its cover

"Autobiography is about my life" says Shoaib Akhter.  If we agree, his life was controversial for us, then dah! his book will also be controversially ours.

England and Pakistan both played better cricket than I have seen them play in the years I have been following this game. Englan didn't just outplay India, they out-planned them. Over the last 18 months England has made that spot. They took time  getting there, made legislation, brought strong and successful people in charge, despite many changes remain same e.g. playing in subcontinent - but the intent is there.
