A cricketing wordsmith without peer, journalist Peter Robuck informs, delights, goads, stimulates, antagonises, harries and encourages his readers with polished prose that cannot be ignored.

However, as Harsha Bhogle has written, "there is more to Peter than the mere magic of words; and that by itself is not to be trifled with. He understands the subcontinent better than most, has strong views on Zimbabwe and South Africa, and has an acute sense of history. You can see that in the metaphors that abound, the awareness of politics, the grasp of history." *

This site sets out to share something of Peter Roebuck's inimitable take on cricket, people and the world at large.
