Fiery West Indies cricketer Tino Best lived life in the fast lane--on
and off the pitch. He will go down as one of the quickest bowlers ever
to have played the game, consistently exceeding 90 mph in an 11-year
international career in which he roughed up--and got out--the best in
the business. And if he played hard on the pitch, he played just as hard
off it. Best lived the playboy lifestyle, sleeping with more than 400
girls, including 48 in one tour of Australia! He reveals all about his
fierce battle with Sachin Tendulkar in the Indian great's last ever
Test, the dressing-room problems damaging the West Indies, and his
antics in the bedroom. In the middle, Best was never short of a word or
two. He took his first Test wicket after giving Graham Thorpe an earful,
he went nose-to-nose with Pakistan star Shoaib Malik in one heated
exchange, and later had to be separated from fighting Kieron Pollard in
a hotel lift. He even dished out the verbals while batting: sledging the
English bowlers during his record-breaking innings for a number 11 of 95
at Lord's. Mind the Windows includes a foreword from Andrew Flintoff,
the man who famously sledged him, while celebrity cricket fan Piers
Morgan, legendary umpire Dickie Bird and former international captains
Adam Hollioake and Darren Sammy have all written tributes.
