From triumph in India to heartbreak in The Ashes, the past year has been a time of constant ups and downs for the Australian cricket team. Throughout it all, their captain has documented his thoughts as the team has travelled abroad and stayed at home, faced the thrill of defeating old foes and the anguish of losing a precious trophy, to create this unique, definitive account: Ricky Ponting's Ashes Diary 2005.Beginning with Sri Lanka's Top End tour to Australia in June 2004, the Ashes Diary 2005 takes us through Ponting's stint playing county cricket for Somerset in England, as well as the Videocon Cup and ICC Champions Trophy. Ponting takes us behind the headlines for the Australians victorious Test tour of India, the tours of New Zealand and Pakistan in Australia, the Tsunami match, the VB Series with the West Indies and Pakistan, and the Test and one-day tour of New Zealand that also included the first Twenty20 international.But it was the Australians tour of England in the northern summer of 2005 that caused the most drama, and Ponting does not back down from discussing the failures in form that led to the loss of The Ashes. At the same time he reflects on the dramatic tie in the NatWest Series and victory in the NatWest Challenge, and pays tribute to the efforts of so many great players in his team.Out of this memorable year of cricket comes the ultimate insider's record of what went right, what went wrong, and why the Australian cricket team is still an almighty force to be reckoned with on the world stage.

Written from the viewpoint of the changing room and the middle of the pitch, Team England's Ashes Diary is a blow-by-blow account of England's progress in the most dramatic Ashes series in history. With England's improvement under Michael Vaughan, the 2005 Ashes series was eagerly anticipated by all sports fans; all tickets were sold out months in advance. The first day at Lord's saw Australia spectacularly bowled out for just 190, and then England were 92 for 7 in reply. It seemed as though we'd seen one of the greatest days of Test cricket ever. In fact, it was only the beginning of a remarkable series... England went on to lose that match, before winning the second Test by 2 runs (the closest Ashes victory in history), drawing the third (when they failed to dismiss Australia's last pair), and then winning the fourth amid scenes of unbearable tension to go into the last Test with an unbeatable 2-1 series lead. In this fascinating inside account, the players reveal their emotions at key moments, and explain how they set about taking on the formidable Aussies. Packed with brilliant photographs of the best action and behind-the-scenes moments, this is a book that all who have thrilled to cricket this summer will want to keep and treasure for years to come.

Brush up on your cricket knowledge of the Ashes with a hilarious and alternative guide to cricket's most fiercely contested series. In this laugh-out-loud follow up to the Sunday Times bestseller Tuffers' Cricket Tales, ex-England cricketer, TV personality and Test Match Special commentator Phil Tufnell offers his unique take on the whole Ashes experience. Drawing on incidents from his own colourful career and the reminiscences of great English and Aussie cricket characters, both past and present, Tuffers highlights all the elements that make for a truly memorable Ashes series, on and off the pitch. Heroic performances, personal 'Cat-astrophes', bonkers selections, cultural clashes between Poms and Ockers, slanderous sledges, dubious tactics, odd superstitions, touring high-jinx and nail-biting finishes are all on the agenda as he delves into the 131-year history of a unique sporting institution. Along the way, Tuffers, who played in five Ashes series without ever getting close to laying his hands on the famous urn, aims to discover the key to winning what is the ultimate prize for any English or Australian cricketer Shot through with his love and knowledge of cricket, Tuffers' Alternative Guide to the Ashes is written with the characteristic cheeky charm which made Phil Tufnell a firm favourite of England's Barmy Army (and a target for good-natured abuse from fans Down Under). Raves for Tuffers' Cricket Tales: 'Hilarious' (Daily Star Sunday); 'Amusing' (All Out Cricket) Five star reader reviews for Tuffers' Alternative Guide to the Ashes: 'An excellent book. The words come to life in pictures. A great read' 'A light, non-demanding, entertaining read - I definitely recommend this book whether you're into cricket or not. I found myself giggling out loud!' 'I enjoyed stories about old time cricketers that I recall from the 60s 70s and 80s especially. Very suitable for dipping in and out of'

'A superb portrait of the most brilliant cricketer of his generation' Mike Atherton Shane Warne dominated cricket on the field and off for almost thirty years - his skill, his fame, his personality, his misadventures. His death in March 2002 rocked Australians, even those who could not tell a leg-break from a leg-pull. But what was it like to watch Warne at his long peak, the man of a thousands international wickets, the incarnation of Aussie audacity and cheek? Gideon Haigh saw it all, still can't quite believe it, but wanted to find a way to explain it. In this classic appreciation of Australia's cricket's greatest figure, who doubled as the nation's best-known man, Haigh relieves the highs, the lows, the fun and the follies. The result is a new way of looking at Warne, at sport and at Australia. 'Bloody brilliant... As good as anything I have read on the game' Guardian Winner of The Cricket Society and MCC Book of the Year

A diary retrospective on the 2009 Ashes series - impressively won 2-1 by Andrew Strauss's England over Australia, who had lined up ahead of the series as most people's favourites. Following England's dismal tour of Australia in 2006/7, hopes were higher going into the 2009 series. After all, a host of Australian stars had retired so without the threat of Warne, Gilchrist, McGrath, Hayden and Langer, they were not going into the summer looking anywhere near as strong as they had been in 2005 - when England just managed to beat them in one of the greatest series of all-time. While the 2009 series didn't live up to those lofty heights (has any series ever?) it certainly packed in some high drama, some fine comebacks and saw the rebirth of two international careers in those of Shane Watson and Jonathan Trott. It was also where England's rise to a position of number one in the Test rankings really began. This book is a combination of the author's own Ashes diary written at the time and an analysis marking the series out as the beginning of England's rise to prominence under Andrew Strauss and Andy Flower. John Pennington is a journalist with Cricket World Media Limited and this was his first book.

Contrary to the age-old sporting truism, what happens on tour sometimes needs to be told. 'For as long as the game of cricket has been played internationally, there have been journos "on the tour" ... Life on the road is tough. But as you are about to experience, it's bloody entertaining as well.' Adam GilchristCricket writer Andrew Ramsey's job was to be on tour with the world's greatest cricket team over a decade when it had no peer. tHE WRONG LINE chronicles the privileges and pitfalls of a life spent trotting the globe, hanging out with sports stars, and being paid to watch cricket - an occupation regarded by countless cricket and travel fans alike as 'the world's best job', even when it renders you alone and in peril with only a three-thumbed taxi driver for support.Set within the players' dressing room and on the team bus; at the bar, the breakfast table, and even in a haunted medieval castle; in England, the West Indies and India, as well as Sharjah, Bangladesh, Kenya and Hong Kong - tHE WRONG LINE gives you a ringside seat at some of the most memorable cricket events, including the remarkable 1999 World Cup and Australia's chaotic 2005 Ashes campaign. A tour diary unlike any you have ever read, it delivers a rare insight into the off-field life, character and thoughts of some of the game's all-time greats, including Stephen Waugh, Shane Warne, Ricky Ponting, Glenn McGrath, Adam Gilchrist and Brian Lara.'this is the cricket book of the summer. You won't find an account of the game its main players told in this way anywhere else. It's a refreshing change, and one well worth the read.' - LAUNCEStON EXAMINER
