Summary: "Raw is a unique book. It details, often with brutal candour, the personal battles of cricket star Martin Crowe since his retirement as a player - depression, launching Cricket Max, the joys of fatherhood, the pleasure and problems he had working for Sky TV, marriage to Lorraine Downes and, most shockingly, the discovery that he was suffering from cancer and how he has gone about beating it. The cricket side of the book is equally fascinating - a candid examination at the state of the game in New Zealand, discussions about new technology and the spirit of cricket, a behind-the-scenes look at the troubled world of the IPL, and Crowe's selection of the best 100 players ever and dream teams from the major test-playing nations. He finishes with a chapter for the cricket purist: how to score a test match century." --wheelers.co.nz
