Book Description
Last few months have been important for the Indian team, highlight the importance of fitness and parameters required to be part of the squad. If players like Hardik Pandya, Virat Kohli are setting new benchmarks in the field of fitness than veteran cricketers like Yuvraj Singh and Suresh Raina are lagging behind. The point has been made to all cricket players when it is about fitness level. India as a team won’t accommodate unfit players anymore, no matter what is their status and past performance. When it comes to T20 cricket, the image which comes to our mind is aggressive hitting, resulting in long tail of fours and sixes by batsmen. However, the role of a sheet anchor, which is precisely discussed in Test cricket and one-day internationals, has equal weightage in slam bang format of the game. It could be different in nature but when an innings is falling apart in T20 matches, one player has to make sure to stay as long as possible to lead his team’s recovery.

Book Description
‘I just closed my eyes and drifted away. I drifted away to the music but I don’t think I’d ever experienced anything quite so soothing and magical. It was like I was in a magical space. It was beautiful.’ — Jim Mahoney, former drug user Pot, Mary Jane, dope, skunk, grass, hash, green, hooch, herb, ganja, reefer. New Zealand loves weed. It’s the most popular illegal drug in our country and third most popular drug overall, behind alcohol and tobacco, yet it also represents a troubled relationship. In Weed, award-winning journalist James Borrowdale dives in deep to understand that relationship, meeting a fascinating cross-section of New Zealand along the way – a nineteenth-century nun who allegedly grew pot, a bystander to the Mr Asia syndicate, a convicted heroin dealer turned criminologist, people both using and offering the drug for medicinal relief, politicians and law-makers old and new. What’s revealed is an engrossing, heady and sometimes surprising account of New Zealand and weed. Fusing insightful, personal stories with analysis and historical research, Weed lays out the facts as they are – about an issue that can no longer be ignored. 'Borrowdale intertwines his deeply personal journey with a much bigger narrative, bringing to life the strange, compelling and often misunderstood story of cannabis in Aotearoa.' - David Farrier 'The best book yet on cannabis and New Zealanders.' - Russell Brown
