Shane Bond - Looking Back

Shane Bond — Looking Back is the remarkable story of one of New Zealand's greatest fast bowlers; a bowler who in his heyday was so ruthlessly efficient at his art, that he was feared by cricketers the world over.
In November, 2001, a 26-year-old Christchurch policeman took the field for New Zealand in a test match against Australia. He did so without the weight of expectation. Less than a decade later, Bond retired as one of New Zealand's finest cricketers.
In this fascinating account of his career, Bond relives those early days as a raw international cricketer with a terrible dress sense to his emotional retirement in May, 2010.
Bond showed courage in coming back from several career-threatening injuries, though it was not his body that robbed him of two years of his international career.
After signing for the fledgling Indian Cricket League, Bond was effectively banned from playing for New Zealand in one of this country's most controversial sporting episodes.
Bond takes you through the political quagmire that enveloped him during those dark days, through to his unlikely return in 2009.
Bond's is a remarkable story which he tells with typical honesty and frankness.
