History: specific events & topics; Ball games; Cricket

There was a time when Bombay was almost synonymous with cricket in India. A Million Broken Windows is the story of how that came to be: of the players who filled the gullies and maidans of the city with their exuberant and institutively skilful play, of the coaches who spotted talent and created opportunities for their boys to grow, and of the crowds that came to cheer their teams, weekday or weekend. Together they ensured that, whatever the result, the joy of competing and pushing oneself, and others, to do better was never lost.

Since the inception of the Ranji trophy, Bombay has lifted the trophy forty-one times. Its batsmen and bowlers have had starring roles in match after match, across tournaments, formats and continents. Captains, coaches, administrators.
