The Ashes' Strangest Moments: Extraordinary but True Tales from over a Century of the Ashes - Softcover
This is an entertaining collection of extraordinary but true tales from over a century of the Ashes. The book contains episodes from all of the most famous series', including the controversial 1932-33 Bodyline series, England's momentous victory in the coronation year of 1953, their dramatic last-minute win following a freak rainstorm that flooded the Oval in 1968, Beefy's Ashes of 1981, and the plague of injuries that forced out all but four of England's original sixteen-man squad in 1994. Great bowlers and batsmen alike are all featured, whether Aussie or Pom, from W.G. Grace to Shane Warne. The 2009 Ashes will be held in England - the first test starts on July 8th in Cardiff, while the second, third, fourth and fifth tests will be held at Lords, Edgbaston, Headingley and the Oval respectively. It promises to be an exciting and closely-fought series, and this summer the nation will once again take test cricket to its heart - all the more so since the collapse of Stanford's 20/20. Discover the rich history of the Ashes with this outstanding book.
