Cricket 2.0 tells the story of how an old, traditional game was
transformed by Twenty20 and how this format moved from being a gimmick
to the face of modern cricket.
The iconic captain Brendon McCullum, England's T20 visionaries Eoin
Morgan and Jos Buttler and Trinidad's Kieron Pollard and Sunil Narine,
who rose to become among the first T20 millionaires, explain how they
shaped T20 - and how it shaped them. Test greats Rahul Dravid and Ricky
Ponting recount what a sea-change T20 represented and decode T20
strategy. AB de Villiers explores the limits of modern batting. The
Afghan phenomenon Rashid Khan shows that T20 superstars can now come
from anywhere. Venky Mysore, the cricket revolutionary you have never
heard of, reveals how the game is changing off the field.
Told through compelling human-interest stories and featuring interviews
with more than 50 players and coaches, Tim Wigmore and Freddie Wilde
examine how a cocktail of globalisation, new aggressive tactics and huge
investment are changing the sport faster than ever before, while
analysing the myriad ways in which a traditional game has been
revolutionised forever, both on and off the pitch.
This is the extraordinary and previously misunderstood story of Twenty20
cricket - told by two people who have chronicled the revolution.
