Description
From the first encounters with the dastardly Australians, through the emergence of the West Indies as the most frightening force the game has ever seen, to the modern commercial operation headquartered in India and Dubai, cricket has survived and still thrives, alternately captivating and infuriating almost 2 billion people. With his unique blend of irreverent humour, biting analysis and deep affection for cricket, Hughes also revisits and evaluates the greats of the game, as well as those whose names have not gone down so well in history. And through it all runs the seam of the Ashes, the titanic contests between England and Australia that always seem to elevate the sport to something altogether different. It just is cricket. Paperback. Published by Rbooks 2009
