Noted Pakistani writer and columnist Omar Kureishi leads an array of sports writers who have tried to bring to life the passion associated with the game when the two arch-rivals meet on the cricket field in the book "India Pakistan Cricketing Ties - Neighbours' Pride". Splashed with pictures capturing the great moments of Indo-Pak cricket, the book aims to give cricket aficionados a first-hand account of not only the matches but interesting sidelights as well. The book begins with the account of the March-April Test series, which saw India register their first-ever Test win on Pakistan soil in almost 50 years and then takes the readers on a roller-coaster ride with accounts of various series. Kureishi talks about India's tour of Pakistan in 1955. "Every cricket tour has its moments. Even a tour in which every Test match is drawn. It was a dull and boring series sustained by a bogus sort of rivalry. Except the Test match at Lahore and the memory endures for its poignancy." in-depth coverage > India-Pakistan Cricket Series 2004 > |
