Question

4. How can you say that Shamnath was a stickler for discipline? Explain.​

Answer 1

A stickler for discipline and a fierce promoter of the traditions of the game, Glenn Turner, the former New Zealand opener who began playing first-class cricket in 1964, has penned his thoughts on the state of international cricket with veteran journalist Lynn McConnell in a book titled Cricket’s Global Warming.

There are sections in the book that are bound to trigger a debate among the players and fans as Turner wades into some absurdities that have come to play havoc with the reputation of the game. Cricket has undergone many changes, not all for the good of the game, and Turner does not mince words as he discusses them with the same vision that marked his career. In this interview, Turner shares his thoughts on cricket and the book.
