Very Good Interesting Read

Go for it!

A useful compilation, but could have been edited better
This guidebook is probably the only one of its kind. Clearly a great deal of effort has gone into visiting and studying some rather obscure parts of the world. However, editing could have been a little better. Some of the statistical tables use player's nicknames rather than the standard forms. Some of the tourist information is sloppy, for instance we are told about trains from Chittagong to Cox's Bazar, while there never has been a railway line there. However, if the cricket tourist carries along a standard guide like Lonely Planet he should be all right.
