{"product_id":"chasing-sachin-adam-carroll-smith-9781908051516","title":"Chasing Sachin","description":"The story of one obsessive fan's unlikely ambition: to bowl just one ball at his childhood hero, Sachin Tendulkar. From the very first time he'd ever watched the \"Little Master\" bat, as a 12-year-old boy, Adam Carroll-Smith had been transfixed. He dreamed not just of bowling to Tendulkar, but of actually knocking over his off stump. Just one problem: he was never really much of a cricketer. However, determined not to let such a small detail stand in his way--and eager to settle an old score with a childhood chum--Carroll-Smith earnestly set about achieving the unthinkable during India's 2011 tour of England. A hilarious summer ensued as he attempted to live out his fantasy, fending off the attentions of over-zealous fellow fans, crazed Italian spiritualists and his meddling best friend--not to mention the dozens of blazered officials and luminous-jacketed stewards standing between him and his hero.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Adam Carroll-Smith\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1908051515\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781908051516\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Pitch Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/01\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Adam Carroll-Smith","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48742659850495,"sku":"9781908051516","price":15.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_dada4d4b-f8cc-4cf4-b33f-3468cf29db15.jpg?v=1782446950","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/chasing-sachin-adam-carroll-smith-9781908051516","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
