Beskrivelse
Australia v England.The Legendary urn. Grace, Bradman, Warne, Bodyline and the World Series breakaway . . . The touchstones of the Ashes loom large in the consciousness of two proud and competitive nations. This book joins the dots in a comprehensive account of the Ashes tests, from their informal beginnings in the 1860s to the already legendary Australian 5-0 reclamtion of 2007. The Ashes reviews each decade with a feast of lively anecdotes and fascinating eyewitness accounts, highlighting legends of the game from Hobbs to Lillee, as well as those unfortunately (or best) forgotten. Packed with argument-busting statistics and handsomely illustrated, this definitive volume tracks the development of cricket's ultimate contest from a money-making exercise to one of the world's most enduring and feisty sporting rivalries.
