New Ashes Book Launched

New Ashes Book Launched

Launched in time for the 2013 back-to-back series Ashes Match of My Life features fourteen legends telling the stories behind their most thrilling triumphs in the historic series – and enables cricket fans to relive these magic moments through the eyes and emotions of the men out in the middle of the field, playing their hearts out for England and Australia in one of the sporting world’s most intense rivalries.



 

More than half a century of action is captured: from Sir Donald Bradman in the 1940s via Geoffrey Boycott and Jeff Thomson, Glenn McGrath and Mark Taylor and into the new millennium, recreating all the excitement of Shane Warne and Glenn McGrath taking on Michael Vaughan’s England.



 

The book comes right up to date with Paul Collingwood giving the inside story on the 2010/11 historic series win in Australia.



 

Each player winds back the clock to reveal the tension, controversy, sledging, humour and passion involved in pursuit of glory – and the true cricketing greatness which can only ever be grasped within an Ashes series.
