Publishers Description: Nothing compares to the Ashes. The Ashes is always coming, even when it is finished. The Ashes is where hope, expectation, magic and chagrin flourish in equal measure, and performance is permanently burnished.In On the Ashes, Gideon Haigh, todays pre-eminent cricket writer, has captured over a century and half of Anglo-Australian cricket, from WG Grace to Don Bradman, from Bodyline to Jim Lakers 19-wicket match, from Ian Bothams miracle at Headingley to the phenomena of Patrick Cummins and Ben Stokes, todays Ashes captains. From over three decades of covering The Ashes, Gideon has brought together an enduring vision of this timeless contest between Australia and England - the worlds oldest sporting rivalry - from the colonial era to the present day.
