Description
Third edition of the hugely successful Ashes Miscellany, a bestseller in 2005 and 2007. Fully revised, updated and re-packaged, the book celebrates the rich history of one of the oldest and greatest rivalries in sport. Packed with facts, figures, lists, quotes and anecdotes... from the legend of the burning of the bails in 1871 to England's amazing triumph in 2011, from WG Grace and Don Bradman to Alistair Cook's heroics in Australia and the much-talked about Sprinkler Dance!
