Soft cover. Condición: Very Good. 1st Pavilion Book Edition. Paperback. Slight browning to edges of pages through age. Introduction by Michael Parkinson. The Ashes series of 1953 is remembered as one of the most exciting and evenly contested series of all time. Writing with his characteristic wit and common sense, Joack Fingleton, probably the greatest of all the Australian cricket writers, gives a lively account of how Len Hutton's England team added to the celebrations of Coronation year by winning back the Ashes. The popular Australian captain, Lindsay Hassett, had an attractive side to lead, including Miller, Harvey, Morris, Lindwall and Davidson, and Fingleton reports on the entertaining cricket they played as the toured the counties and the hard-fought Test series against a powerful England side in which Compton, Edrich, Hutton, May and Graveney all made runs and Bedser dominated the attack. In addition to his perceptive portraits of the players and analysis of the action, Fingelton's gift for sharp observation and his obvious relish for the Old Country make this book a funny and affectionate Australian view of England in party mood and a glowing record of a splendid year. Illustrated. 320 pp. (We carry a wide selection of titles in The Arts, Theology, History, Politics, Social and Physical Sciences. academic and scholarly books and Modern First Editions ,and all types of Academic Literature.).
