A collection of Niren Tolsi's articles on South African cricket, published in various South African newspapers between 1998 and 2022.

"Tolsi's writing delves deeply into the sociopolitics of sport in ways that are both revealing and cathartic. His writing mediates on the mantra 'no normal sport in an abnormal society' and asks us to consider the standards our societies have set for themselves, to critique our morals, and to always question authority." Firdose Moonda, ESPNcricinfo South Africa correspondent
