Eye on Cricket: Reflections on the Great Game

In Eye on Cricket, Samir Chopra, a professor of philosophy and a
long-time blogger at ESPNcricinfo, offers us a deeply personal
take on a game that has entranced him his entire life in the
several lands he has called home.
He reflects on a childhood centred on cricket, the many
obsessions of fandom, the intersection of the personal and the
political, expatriate experiences of cricket, historical regrets
and remembrances, and cricket writing and media.
Nostalgic, passionate and meditative, Eye on Cricket is steeped
in cricket history and its cultural significance, and reminds the most devoted spectators of
the game that they are not alone. Every emotion they’ve experienced is a shared one – for
the Empire’s most famous export, this gentlemanly game of bat and ball, has slowly built
the most closely bonded brotherhood in the world.
