The co-authors of the book, Timothy Noakes and Helen Moffett, do not discuss the events leading up to Woolmer’s death at all. It throws light on issues like ball-tampering, sledging, reverse swing, racial tensions, cricket relations between hostile India and Pakistan almost every conceivable issue barring the ones in question. It also has sub-sections on personalities like Don Bradman, Shane Warne and Gary Kirsten, the new India coach. It deals with the techniques of batting, bowling and fielding.
The book is an out-and-out cricket manual for coaches and serious students of the game. It was believed the book might even have cost him his life. This will come as a huge disappointment to the eagerly-waiting readers who might be thinking that his book would be an expose on the murky world of match-fixing and behind-the-scenes misdeeds of players who act at the behest of bookies. In his soon-to-be-released book Art and Science of Cricket, these two words do not occur even once through the 650 pages. LONDON, Sept 17: Late South Africa and Pakistan coach Bob Woolmer’s tell-all book on cricket touches every aspect of the game barring two dreaded words: betting and fixing.
