Brilliant. On Sri Lankan politics, history, food and drink, all wrapped up in a cricket kit bag. The search for a possibly mythical, devastatingly gifted spin bowler by an alcoholic sports writer. Sounds most unpromising doesn't it? Stuffed, too, with the sort of stats and analyses perhaps only cricket lovers would love. But one of my books of 2016.

Cricket, booze and Sri Lanka. What a heady mixture. This book fairly thrums along and even if you don't know anything about cricket, you'll be captured by its charms.
May not be suitable for pele who know anything about cricket but worth reading even if you don't to get insight into the Sri lankan factions
I enjoyed the story but found the constsnt change in time irritating. I have recommended it to my cricket tragic daughter
This book is hilarious. Haven't read anything like it before.
Would recommend to someone who's fond of cricket and Sri Lanka.
I have watched cricket closely for 25 years, and I tried figuring out who the real Pradeep Mathew is.
This book covers cricket, Sri Lankan politics and racial divide, and has brilliant prose.
The words describing Duckworth-Lewis rule or beauty of left arm spin are not just poetic but magical
I bought this book for my husband as a requested birthday present. He had started reading it (this is the original title, and he was reading the newer version). He wanted it in hard copy and just loves this book.
I hate sports and wouldn't ordinarily read about cricket unless forced. But I read this because I'd been to beautiful Sri Lanka many years ago. I loved this book! It's funny, has some clever twists, and I cared about the characters. I found them lovable, so that it was heart-wrenching to watch this man drink himself to death. His self-destruction was handled so well, I wouldn't be surprised to hear that some people have given up drinking because of this book. And of course there was the mystery of the missing cricket player, Pradeep Mathew, to keep things perking along. I must confess I did not use this book as an opportunity to learn about cricket; I skipped through those passages.
