From Steve Waugh’s one-legged hundred to Stuart Broad picking a fight with a boundary robot, this celebration of the funniest, weirdest and most absurd moments from Ashes cricket is a new, richly amusing exploration of this timeless rivalry.
The Ashes is one of the oldest and most revered contests in the history of sport. But it is also a contest that contains profound nonsense.
The ridiculousness of cricket comes in many shapes and forms, and this book celebrates them all – the ridiculously good and the ridiculously terrible, as well as the plain old ridiculously ridiculous.
From Steve Waugh’s one-legged hundred to Stuart Broad picking a fight with a boundary robot, this celebration of the funniest, weirdest and most absurd moments from Ashes cricket is a new, richly amusing exploration of this timeless rivalry.

About the Author
Dan Liebke is a comedy writer, who was a regular contributor to MAD Magazine in Australia for two decades before coming to his senses and turning his comic focus to cricket. In addition to a social media presence on Bluesky (@liebcricket.com), Dan has contributed articles making fun of cricket and cricketers to a variety of magazines and websites (including his own – liebcricket.com). He also co-hosts both the Can’t Bowl, Can’t Throw and Ridiculous Ashes cricket podcasts, and has written numerous cricket books, most of which have been published by Affirm Press (including The 50 Greatest Matches in Australian Cricket, The 50 Greatest Australian Cricketers and The 100 Funniest Moments in Australian Cricket, among others). Dan is a genuine all-rounder, equally inept with both bat and ball – and he steadfastly believes that cricket is the funniest, and hence best, sport that humanity has ever invented.
Alex Bowden is a cricket (and cycling) writer who has previously contributed serious, semi-serious and far-from-serious articles to The Wisden Cricketer, Wisden Cricket Monthly and Wisden.com, as well as Wisden’s quarterly publication, The Nightwatchman. Somehow or other, he has never actually written for Wisden itself. He has, however, also written for several non-Wisden-branded cricket publications, such as ESPNcricinfo, Cricket365 and the Mumbai Mirror, as well as his own website, King Cricket (kingcricket.co.uk), where he has spent the last twenty years wilfully evading all the big stories while covering the England team. Alongside this, he co-hosts the Ridiculous Ashes podcast with Dan Liebke – in large part because Dan has displayed a willingness to call him Alex, rather than King Cricket, which he assures you is a quite excruciating nom de plume to inadvertently land yourself with.
