In this book, Piloo Reporter takes us through his eventful journey as an umpire, a journey that commenced at the club level in the early 1960s and culminated in a spectacular fashion at cricket`s biggest event, the World Cup, three decades later. The agony - a delayed Test debut, not making it to the frontline in the 1987 World Cup - is overshadowed by ecstasy - the first `neutral` umpire in Test cricket in seven decades, a hat-trick of Test matches, the Nehru Cup final and of course, the 1992 World Cup.
The book showcases the author`s memories, his views on pertinent cricketing issues, and of course the giants who graced the game in the 1970s, 1980s and the 1990s.
Today, a decade after standing in his last Test match, Piloo Reporter leads an active retired life, umpiring inter-club,inter-office and festival matches, and guiding young umpires in his hometown, Mumbai.His views on cricketing matters continue to be eagerly sought after by the cricketing and umpiring fraternity. The book is the fascinating and entertaining story of one of India`s most famous international umpires, narrated in print by the man himself. ISBN 9780009104709
