Book Review: 'A Century is Not Plenty' by Sourav GangulyAn unstructured, ordinarily written, patchy and disappointing read.
I won't say I had high expectations from Sourav Ganguly's autobiography. Having followed his career minutely and observed him equally a cricketer, I knew what the tone of the volume would be like. But I was nonetheless interested in it as I was once a huge Ganguly fan.
Autobiographies of Indian cricketers haven't actually been keen of late, including Sachin Tendulkar's 'Playing Information technology My style'. Despite that, with Ganguly's book, I was expecting some great insights into the listen of a fighter and a leader.
Unfortunately, what I got was a mixed bag; mildly good in parts but disappointing overall. What'south worse is that it's not even well written. More on that afterwards.
Sourav Ganguly's contribution towards Indian cricket is immense. He was 1 of all-time ODI batsmen of his time and became a great leader who molded Indian cricket in the right direction during a very tough menstruum. It was under Sourav Ganguly's leadership that a new, fearless Indian team emerged.
But…These are the things I already know well-nigh. I didn't need another book to tell me this. What I wanted to know more than was near Sourav Ganguly, the person. I wanted to get a peek of his formative years; his childhood in Kolkata, his schoolhouse days and how the game caught his fancy. I also wanted a detailed view into his mind as a helm.
Equally a thespian, Ganguly was aggressive and never shied away from giving information technology back. But what I got in this volume is incessant ramblings of a person who thinks he was wronged through most of his career and the world was out to go him. That he was the eternal victim who did everything right. E'er.
Ganguly starts with his last twenty-four hour period in international cricket – at Nagpur against Australia, 2008. From there we move on direct to his start ODI lucifer in 1992. The chapter on his debut tour in Australia is interesting and it is the just one where he accepts his flaws and sacking gracefully.
We then move straightaway to his memorable debut Test match at Lord'due south against England in 1996. At that place is hardly whatsoever mention of what Ganguly did in the intervening years and how he prepared himself mentally with the failure. And similar I said, there is no mention of his boyhood cricket-playing days which I experience is a huge miss.
From at that place on, Ganguly reflects on the well-known events of his career – his functioning against Pakistan at Toronto in 1997, his 183 confronting Sri Lanka in the 1999 World Cup, his elevation to captaincy, the 2001 Eden Test confronting Commonwealth of australia and the 2002 Natwest Tri-series win against England.
All these events are glossed over, punctuated with some anecdote here and in that location. I was incredibly disappointed that the 2001 Examination serial against Commonwealth of australia and the 2003 Globe Cup in South Africa – Ganguly's biggest moments every bit a captain – are finished in a few paras. Hell, the 2001 Eden Test itself, with all its remarkable ebbs and flows, deserved a dissever chapter. It's a key omission, in my view!
Subsequently this, there are pages upon pages on his strained equations with Australian coach Greg Chappell and how he was this evil monster. Ganguly goes on to highlight how Greg was 'out to get him' forth with a few selectors. In fact, during the 2nd half of the book it felt like the motive backside writing this volume was to call out all those who had wronged him.
Throughout the book, Ganguly frequently projects himself equally the victim and overglorifies his feats as a helm and batsman while completely overlooking his deficiencies.
For instance, he claims that the 2004 Examination series victory in Pakistan was his biggest moment as a captain simply casually ignores to mention the fact that Rahul Dravid was the stand up-in captain in i of the Tests. He takes great pride in talking about his hundreds scored against Wasim Akram and Glen McGrath, every bit he should. But then, when he talks loftily about the fatigued series against Australia in 2004, he fails to country that information technology didn't feature the likes of Glen McGrath and Shane Warne in it. Shockingly, Ganguly completely ignores talking well-nigh the 2004 dwelling Test series loss to Australia. How tin can his memoir exclude such an important outcome in his tenure?
As well, while Ganguly rambles on for pages well-nigh his sudden removal from the Indian squad, he never, for once, mentions the poor form he had prior to that phase or at whatever point in his career. He brags about his hundred against Zimbabwe in 2005 earlier he was dropped, but never talks well-nigh the fact that he had scores of 21, 12, 12, i and 2 prior to that innings.
In fact, Ganguly also states how he was literally 'forced' to appear for an advertisement for Pepsi subsequently his removal from the side where he had to say the lines 'Mera Naam Sourav Ganguly. Bhule Toh Nahi?" For a man of Ganguly's aggressive and no-nonsense nature, I find it hard to believe that anyone could twist his arms to practice something he wasn't at all interested in and was, in fact, embarrassed by.
Too missing are any talks about Ganguly'southward technical deficiencies that he faced through his career. I was actually keen on reading nearly his frailties against the short ball and his issues on the leg-side. Surely, talking about how he struggled confronting them and how he managed these chinks in his batting would have only made him announced like a normal sportsperson.
Sanjay Manjerakar'southward 'Imperfect' was much better that way. At to the lowest degree Sanjay was aboveboard plenty to accept his personal and technical flaws in his memoir. With Ganguly, we do non get any of that.
Another issue that bugged me all through the book was the barrage of motivational nuggets he keeps on piling for the readers. And in doing and so, Ganguly oft produces a motivational story from tales of his wistful struggles and several magnified triumphs in his career. Some of his episodes of struggles were 18-carat and did serve as an inspiration in itself. But when he followed them up with quotes similar "Take the danger head on and never give upwards" they kind of lost the taste.
Surprisingly, even though the volume is co-authored by a senior journalist, it isn't well written either and in that location is not a single sentence that I was impressed with in the way it was framed - they are all very mundane and ordinary. It is also riddled with numerous typographical and punctuation errors. A proper quality check was really needed in this one.
What I felt afterward finishing the book was that Ganguly was on this ego trip. He was one of the most influential cricketers of his time and could have presented an engaging and arresting view of his life and career and, more chiefly, of one of the well-nigh consequential phases of Indian cricket through his prism. Merely that opportunity is squandered as Ganguly disappoints with an overkill of a vainglorious expect of himself.
I have a feeling that this book was written in a rush, much similar Sachin Tendulkar's 'Playing It My way'. It appears that Ganguly sat downwards and chalked out all the things well-nigh himself that would present him as a victim and an unrelenting champion, while conveniently ignored some of the more uncomfortable aspects of his career. And that is where this autobiography is incomplete and patchy, while besides being unstructured and ordinarily written as a whole.
Ganguly was a fascinating character and people loved him fifty-fifty with his flaws. No one tin take abroad all that he has achieved for Indian cricket. However, I didn't want a repeat of all the well-known tales virtually him. I wanted a sincere account of his life and career. While definitely a better read than Sachin's book, 'A Century is Non Enough' left me feeling rather displeased.
I will have a break from reading any modernistic Indian cricketer'southward autobiography at present. Tired of being disappointed!

Coming to the book the tone of the book I agree is preachy with Dada direct talking to young cricketers and normal chums like me or y'all "Life Lessons" as he liked to phone call them. As I said that lot of things came together to make it so that I have seen almost of the matches or to the lowest degree kept rail of them and it was easy every bit merely like information technology to bring back the memories of the matches or innings mentioned in the book.
So in the cease don't let the positive reviews sway you lot nor let the negative reviews scare you lot abroad from this book, give information technology a chance and see for yourself if you similar this life story or not, in any case read this or non just remember to Continue on Reading.

Rating - I discover it unfair to charge per unit autobiographies. I hateful how can we charge per unit how a person has lived their lifeAt the outset, this book was purely picked up by me considering I am a crazy supporter of Dada.. I employ the word supporter because I ever used to believe that he deserved to make a come back and treated ameliorate than the way he was treated by people around him.
This volume is really well written. You lot can encounter that the support author has kept his role to a minimal, which is not what I felt when I read Sachin's autobiography.
The book non just makes you relive some of the glorious moments in Indian cricket history during the late 90s and 2000s ( gilt period) but is a treasure trove on leadership. The best office is it does not portray Dada as some flawless larger than life captain but a guy who went through a lot equally a helm and shows how much work goes into being a leader of men.
I would refer this book to anybody who wants to learn about leadership and how leaders are not only born only are made through self learning and cocky sacrifice.
Dada is the architect of what we are today as a cricket team. Dada influenced the way my generation looked at life, we saw him being aggressive and winning and we realised we could exercise it likewise. Don't forget, he had this influence because ,during his career, cricket was the one and all there was in terms of sports in Republic of india. And sports does build a generation.
Thank yous Dada for your service to the game and the endless smiles you brought u.s.!!
Highly recommended to everybody who has religiously followed Indian cricket in the final 20 years

None-the-less it doesn't hateful that this volume is not worth a read, probably my expectation was quite loftier. Reading this was a good nostalgia, I kind of dived in my childhood again. Watching those innings on YouTube along with reading those chapters was an absolute treat. But every bit I mentioned earlier in that location were few case which were non covered in as much particular as I would have liked to. 2001 kolkata Test, 2003 world loving cup final and Ganguly'south double century in Bangalore are few examples. Above all and most surprisingly his last exam and series win against Australia was not even mentioned. I mean he even did the captaincy in concluding few minutes of that test, it surely worth a page at least.
Overall a decent book simply could accept been ameliorate. 3.5 Star which include 1/2 actress star for the dearest of DADA.

'Çonfidence is the only cologne you can wear in the dressing room', 'Darkness always has an expiry date' are some of the Dada-isms that stayed with me at the end of this book. There is a lot of motivational stuff hither -- especially for those looking at making at comebacks, not but on the field, simply also in life. Some of it is very generic, and some quite contextual.A Century is Not Enough is a quick read -- covers a big part of Ganguly'south career, peculiarly the of import developments in his view -- his choice, being dropped from the side and from captaincy, his comeback, retirement, IPL and of class, Greg Chappell. I am adequately satisfied with what he'southward shared about all these topics -- although I wanted a lot more fireworks between him and Greg, most what Actually happened.
What he hasn't spoken much about -- and I wish Indian sports memoirs accost this -- is the lack of any anecdotes nigh cricketing strategy and conclusion-making. As a helm, how did your team build pressure? How did y'all motivate your boys when the chips were down? What thinking went into your bowling changes? How do you build momentum effectually a dismissal? Who were the opponents you enjoyed competing against? In some of the pressure cooker matches he'd played, what happened behind the scenes in some key captaincy decisions. If yous played alongside four Indian erstwhile captains - Azhar, Sachin, Dravid, Kumble --
y'all played in the golden era of Indian cricket. What were the remember-tank conversations like? The book offers barely any insights hither -- it would take made for riveting reading. The World Loving cup last nosotros lost to Australia in 2003 -- he'due south not opened upwards about that friction match at all. What was the road to the final like? (The aforementioned problems plagued MS Dhoni: The Untold Story, the picture, perhaps one of the worst biopics I've seen.)
By not talking almost the team's defeats, his own failures (fitness and sloppy running betwixt the wickets), MS Dhoni'southward appointment equally captain (and the new kind of squad Dhoni built) -- this book felt like a lost opportunity. I hope he writes another volume about the Dada approach towards captaincy, something that likewise addresses the ongoing conversations in Indian cricket -- the BCCI, Kohli, Shastri, the Yo-Yo examination, etc. This book dwells generally on his own records and how unfairly he was dropped from the national and IPL sides, and how remarkable his comebacks were. (They were indeed.)

The goods? It is Sourav Ganguly's memoir of his professional career. The highs, the lows, the practiced, bad and ugly. It is all here.

I, much similar a lot of other people, am a self-professed uber fan of Sourav Ganguly.

Nearly-religious fans, similar yours truly, would definitely derive pleasure in reliving the highlights of Dada's career while also agreement merely now, what his mindset was when he was creating those memories for united states. Through this volume, we go a peek into the mind of a champion athlete.
In that location is a sure arrogance in the writing at times, a bit of victim-hood at the others, merely a general, constant pride in his life's piece of work. Information technology has quintessential traits of the Sourav Ganguly persona, at least the public one, that nosotros all have loved for and then long.
The downfalls? This is a book which has quintessential traits of the Sourav Ganguly persona.

Nevertheless, I wouldn't change a thing in this book. Sourav Ganguly that I loved wasn't perfect. Why should his memoir exist? ...more
1. Pathbreaking captain : He tried out new things like getting a strange motorbus for the starting time time in Indian cricket. Commencement captain to do a recce of a foreign country (Australia) to understand pitches and basis conditions before an upcoming bout.
ii. Inspiring leader: Most of the players he captained also vouch for this aspect of his personality. He successfully ready foundations of a side which would do really well later.
3. Egoist: This bit is quite fascinating. He only talks about his successes in the book. Cerise picks and remembers good knocks in his defense force of not getting picked in the team and in general is quite defensive around operation. I would have liked Ganguly to write a more humble and aboveboard cess of his ain career.
Read only if you are a big time Dada fan and keen to ignore the egoism that is quite palpable through out the volume.
...more The narrative is linear and very conversational, which makes it a very breezy read. The book can be easily finished in i sitting. Dada gets really candid as he narrates the incidents and likewise shares some wonderful anecdotes, especially of his interactions with other cricketers. In doing that, he also shares lessons for readers which tend to become a bit preachy as the book progresses. What bothers me is how, in a bid to retain his place in the side, he was expecting poor performances from the team to increase his chances. And he is indeed proud of his achievements, calling out his stats quite regularly :)

For me, he was quite simply the best Indian Captain ever who instilled a winning mentality , cocky belief and killer instinct into the team.The book is exactly what I expected it to be - Straightforward, insightful, unforgiving and most chiefly a superbly paced quick read. And unlike Tendulkar (who remains my favourite in terms of pure cricketing genius), Dada does not mince any words and there are no half measures. My only complaint is that the book was as well curt! Merely then, it is targeted at a much wider audience bulk of whom may not be receptive to a marathon read.
Recommended!
4/5.
In that location is no denying or its not any secret that Sourav is considered equally destiny's This is not just a memoir but also a self-assist guide book. In almost every page, Sourav has tried to inspire his readers past sharing his own life's experiences. While starting to read, i thought of highlighting the lines with a marker, which i felt would inspire me in future, when i will exist going through a bad phase. Later on finishing reading few pages, i realized that i would finish up highlighting well-nigh the entire volume.
At that place is no denying or its not any secret that Sourav is considered as destiny'south child; he is seen as the sportsperson who has come back from ashes once again n once again. Some might relate this book with his own batting mode - ambitious and defensive at the same time. Simply that is how he has led his entire sporting career. Fifty-fifty in his haydays he had to defend and bear witness his skills fourth dimension n once again. One matter which strongly comes out from the pages is the anger Sourav had for his detractors. And since he had many, the approach is quite expected considering that its a memoir written directly past him. In my opinion, more than the anger its the frustration which he faced with individuals - The disappointment of having to show his credibility fifty-fifty till his terminal day of playing.
There are segments where Sourav has boasted nearly his achievements, but that is expected again if someone has to remind people that he has been i of the very few leaders, a general who changed how Indian cricketers looked into opponents eyes.
Overall, everyone who has followed Indian Cricket of Gilded times, when the lineup looked like Tendulkar, Ganguly, Dravid, Laxman, Kumble, Sehwag, Yuvraj, Harbhajan, Srinath, Zaheer would find this volume very touching. Pick it up without batting an eyelid.
Lastly afterward reading the memoir of both Sachin and Sourav, something stands out for me. Though over again it had looked quite shocking when the things had actually happened, merely to read them from the masters themselves is quite interesting. And both the incidents were from the times when Dravid was the captain. Sachin in his autobiography mentioned how he was disappointed when Dravid declared Indian innings while Sachin was batting on 194 and enough time in paw to strength for an Indian victory. Similarly Sourav has explained how he was disappointed when Dravid didn't take a strong stance when Greg Chappel was ruining Indian Cricket. As a fan and follower of Indian Cricket those days, these 2 incidents were quite frustrating fifty-fifty to me! ...more

A good read overall (iv.5 maybe). Towards the final couple of chapters I sort of found it a fleck boring just completed the volume nonetheless. If you have followed Ganguly, you will notice this a very Ganguly-esque book. You will actually visualise Ganguly saying these in an interview. Its that close.The skilful parts of the book are the feelings Ganguly shares along the fashion, the feeling of being selected for the Republic of india team for the first time, the shy, vulnerable Ganguly with the feelings of anxiety, the feelings of inferiority sitting amidst the stalwarts, the apprehensions etc. From that point to the most confident ( and to an extent an arrogant) Ganguly, you tin feel the journey. He puts a reason to why he would be overly ambitious or big-headed at times and I was convinced and found myself respecting him a tad flake more than now. Though I did feel at times he had really get a bit too overconfident towards the end of his career and wanted to sit on his by laurels, I could acquire so much from a completely different angle as to how the ups and downs in life should exist handled, how to cope through situations when people want to pull you downwardly etc.
I would recommend this to anyone who follows a scrap of cricket, who knows the events in Ganguly's career and wants to selection upwardly Ganguly'due south mind when he faced through those situations or anyone who is merely looking for some motivation getting effectually some hard times in life.

With Ganguly's debut and then his captaincy things began to alter. It is almost as if he forged a team from his sheer will and resilience.

And the final department in which his struggles with coach Chappell have been noted was very interesting esp since in that location was a lot to know.
