This book is a deep insight into the phenomenal exploits and beautiful bowling skills of Hugh Joseph Tayfield, the inscrutable master of spin. He played the noble game of cricket with a gallant heart. The Inscrutable Master brings to the reader the brilliance of Tayfield and his unique place in South Africa and cricket’s history. ’I am sure Sanjit’s assiduously researched book on Hugh Tayfield, about whom the world knows so little, despite his off spinning style and skills being comparable to Jim Laker, will be a huge success.’ Abbas Ali Baig, former Indian cricketer
