Description
The Ashes contest between Australia and England has been one of the world's great sporting events since tours between the countries commenced in 1861; the introduction of the Ashes in 1882 gave it a competitive edge that is even stronger in 2009. Here we have 1000 memorable moments drawn from every tour since 1861, and each of the 316 Tests played between the archrivals, the majority for the coveted Ashes urn. There are also potted results of other major games, including one-day internationals and tour matches, statistical highlights, records of all the Tests, and lists of the players who toured.
Author Biography
When stumps are drawn on his working day as the morning newsreader on ABC Local Radio in Canberra, Marc Dawson retreats to his vast library, and other worldwide sources, to create eclectic collections of cricket's memorable moments. This is his sixth ABC Book.
