"Sat, Sam, and Trib (a.k.a Triple sundae gang) are teenagers and they love cricket. They spend most of their time watching and playing the sport they love. They dream of making their living in the sport.

When they are not playing the game, they put on their thinking cap and come up with alternate versions of important matches or provide parodic answers to questions that have plagued cricket fans over the years.

However, fate intervenes in their idyllic life. On 18th April 1986, Javed Miandad hits Chetan Sharma for a six in Sharjah and leaves their cricket viewing life in tatters. The after-effects of this fateful event, continue to haunt them for many years.

Their problems don't end there.

Sat fails to graduate from school level cricket to state-level cricket. He is heartbroken by the loss of his dreams and faces a mini identity crisis.

How do the boys solve their problems?

Will the boys ever recover from that Javed Miandad incident?

Will Sat get his mojo back?

Come, join the heartwarming ride and find out the answers, as Sat takes you through his nostalgic memories of the sport and narrates his coming of age story, which is deeply influenced by the sport!"
Review :

A swift entertaining and informative reminder of the Wonder of the 80's and 90's cricket for fans of the game. This book is a work of passion above anything else. The book is a absorbing read for anyone who follows cricket. The story revolves around three friends Sam, Tribe and Sat. Who lives in the same society. All they want to do is play the game for India. Author T.Sathish weaves the narrative around 80's and 90's cricket beautifully and link them with the lives of three central characters convincingly and beautifully. The language of the book is simple and easy to read. Title and cover page of the book is apt to the story. I have enjoyed this book very much. Book is very original. A must read book. Highly recommend.
