Book Description

About the Book There was a time when Bombay was almost synonymous with cricket in India. A Million Broken Windows is the story of how that came to be: of the players who filled the gullies and maidans of the city with their exuberant and intuitively skilful play, of the coaches who spotted talent and created opportunities for their boys to grow, and of the crowds that came to cheer their teams, weekday or weekend. Together they ensured that, whatever the result, the joy of competing and pushing oneself, and others, to do better was never lost.

Since the inception of the Ranji Trophy, Bombay has lifted the trophy forty-one times. Its batsmen and bowlers have had starring roles in match after match, across tournaments, formats and continents. Captains, coaches, administrators-Bombay has contributed to the game in every way possible.

This book is both a tribute and a testimony to the conquestorial yet generous spirit that animates the game in the city that is the birthplace of cricket in India.

About the Author Dr Makarand Waingankar, who did his PhD on cricket, has been a sports journalist-cum-cricket administrator for five decades. His TRDO system, which unearthed a large number of talent from the districts, including M.S. Dhoni, changed the face of Indian cricket. He was the CEO of Baroda Cricket Association and also consultant to Karnataka State Cricket Association. He is the author of three books.

Introduction Everyone who follows the game of cricket knows of the exploits of Bombay teams. While not everyone may be able to recall the precise numbers, connoisseurs of the sport cannot miss the contribution of Bombay to the cricketing traditions of India. Bombay has won the Ranji Trophy forty-one times. Their closest competitors, Karnataka, come in at a grand total of seven. One-third of all of India's international runs have been scored by batsmen who have come through the ranks of Bombay cricket. While these numbers may amaze the readers they may not be entirely unexpected, for the legends of Bombay cricket are part of the oral tradition of cricket followers not only from the city but across the country.
