The Times on the Ashes

Description:

REPORTAGE & COLLECTED JOURNALISM: FROM C 1900 -. The Times newspaper has been covering the Ashes since the great cricketing rivalry between England and Australia began. From the day - May 14, 1877 - that a report was published of a game at the Melbourne Cricket Ground that was later recognised as the first Test match, to its slick, modern-day coverage with a team of writers, stunning colour photographs and instant online analysis, the paper has been there every step of the way. This book showcases some of the best Ashes coverage from the pages of The Times over almost 140 years and includes many of the most memorable matches, moments and players. It includes the sensational Bodyline series in 1932-33 that nearly split the Empire and the epic drama of the unforgettable Tests of 2005 when England finally won back the Ashes to the acclaim of the whole nation.
