"Cricket is a game of glorious uncertainties."

It is a sport that can last for five days and still end in a draw, yet it contains more drama than any 90-minute contest. In The Sound of Willow: The Ultimate Cricket Quote Book, you will go behind the boundary to experience the game through the voices that defined it. This is a collection that explores the "Stoic" discipline of the opening batter, the "Maverick" genius of the spin bowler, and the "Spirit" that governs every delivery.

Inside, you will find:

• The Master and the Strategist: 20 deep-dive stories behind the most iconic lines in cricket history.

• The Immortal 100: A powerhouse list of quotes from the Masters of the Willow, the Strategists of the Leather, and the legendary Pundits.
