Shane 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 mightly battle of 2005 when England reclaimed the urn to Australia's 5-0 whitewash in 2007. The book reviews each decade with a feast of lively anecdotes and fascinating eyewitness accounts, highlighting legends of the game from Jack Hobbs to Dennis 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.
