- Summary:
-
This illustrated history celebrates the greatest moments of the Ashes in Australia: from Bannerman's first fending of Shaw's opening delivery in 1877, to Cowdrey's courageous defence in the face of Thomson's fastbowling almost 100 years later; from Lord Harris's near-encounter with a young Banjo Paterson, to Maclagan's all-round superiority in the inaugural Women's Ashes; and from Trumble's unsurpassed dual hat-trick at the turn of the century, to Warne's own hat-trick, bowling eyes closed, before the dawn of a new one. These are the moments where history was made, and spawn the yarns that will endure when all else has turned to ashes.
