*Updated edition to include the 2017-18, 2019 and 2021-22 Ashes
series* Wisden on the Ashes: The authoritative story of cricket's
greatest rivalry is a detailed chronological journey through the
history of this famous English-Australian contest. With Test
reports, scorecards, "Great bowlers of the year" and other
fascinating material from the archives, together with new editorial
pieces, this is a remarkable record of cricket's most enduring
battle. The book begins its journey with England's first tour of
Australia in 1876 and the subsequent three series prior to the 1882
tour that led to a mock obituary being placed in the Sporting Times
"In affectionate remembrance of English cricket, which died at The
Oval on 29th August, 1882. ... The body will be cremated and the
ashes taken to Australia." Celebrating the players who made their
mark on the game and the controversies that shook the sport, the
book covers every series since then through to the most recent
series. In 2005 England won a highly competitive series that helped
raise the popularity of the sport, and each series since then has
attracted huge attention. This book will be a welcome addition to
all cricket enthusiasts' collections, as well as an ideal gift
purchase. This updated edition includes the 2017-18 series, which
saw England fail to defend the Ashes, the summer 2019 series held
in England, which was the first drawn series since 1972, and the
Covid-affected 2021-22 series. It also includes a colour photo
section celebrating the players, the matches and the key moments
from an ongoing rivalry.
