Cricket The Definitive Guide to the InternationalGame

Cricket traces the sport's journey from the birth of the Ashes rivalry between England and Australia in the late nineteenth century through to the money-spinning spectacle of the Indian Premier League. The great Test series are relived and the pivotal moments explained, from the infamous Bodyline clashes of the 1930s to the dominant West Indies sides of the 1970s and 80s, Australia's modern supremacy, England's climb back to the No.1 Test ranking, and the growing influence of India both on the field and off it. Written by a former Wisden Cricketer editor and illustrated with photography from Patrick Eagar, it covers the international game from every angle.
