Thanks for this Colin. I'll be sure to make a visit at some stage between
Christmas and New Year this year. He is open then, I trust.

There's a bookstore called Jason's in Auckland, which is secondhand and has
some Cricket-related material. I spied a book by Pataudi there once, but
didn't pick it up (it was going for $10). Must go in again soon and see
what's out there.

Cheers,

Aditya
