	One-Day Cricket The Indian Challenge by Ashis Ray
	Price : Rs 295.00
	Your Price : Rs 230.10

One-Day Cricket: The Indian Challenge chronicles the limited overs game from an Indian perspective. It traces its origins and covers every World Cup and Champions Trophy tournament and the 1985 Benson & Benson & Hedges `World Championship`. India`s victory in the 1983 World Cup finds pride of place. Some all-time great one-day internationals (ODIs) are highlighted as well as India`s intense rivalry with Pakistan. The book concludes with a preview of the 2007 World Cup, and also examines Saurav Ganguly`s previously controversial exclusion from the Indian side.

An entire chapter is devoted to `the turning point` for India in ODIs-a win against the then mighty West Indies in March 1983.

The work also portrays the bumpy shift in the balance of power in world cricket from Anglo-Saxon control to Indian dominance.

This mostly first-hand, anecdotal sweep of over 44 years of one-day cricket, blended with sharp analysis, is also an invaluable statistical guide.

And it comes from the commentator who broadcast ball-by-ball on BBC ON India`s meteoric march in the 1983 World Cup.
