John Wright – Indian Summers
The New Zealander may have coached India for just 5 years but that didn't stop him writing the controversial book, 'John Wright's Indian Summers'. The Kiwi's opinion on a change of captaincy when Sourav Ganguly was leading team India irked the fans of the Bengal Tiger.
He has prudently abstained from cheap shots and score settling, which often depreciate the appeal of such books. Most disturbing was the answer to Ganguly's evaporating captaincy. Those who proposed Dravid as captain were seen to despise Ganguly, and those sticking with Ganguly were thus anti-Dravid.
Michael Hussey - Underneath the Southern Cross
Underneath the Southern Cross shed light on a poor team culture and his bewilderment at some of the more recent management decisions and actions. He also confirmed that Gurunath Meiyappan “ran” the Chennai Super Kings; a fact contested by Gurunath himself when embroiled in a gambling scandal.
He also lamabasted Tendulkar for forgetting to shake hands after a match during India's tour to Australia in 2007-08, Hussey noted: "You don't forget to shake hands after an international match. Perhaps Sachin wasn't a god, just another human like the rest of us."
