In 2008, Australia celebrated two important anniversaries 60 years since the triumphant Invincibles Ashes tour of England, and 100 years since the birth of Sir Donald Bradman. At last, here is the definitive account of that amazing tour. It is very much an inside account : Roland Perry conducted long, in-depth interviews with Sir Donald while writing his biography some years ago and now writes of them for the first time. In addition, Roland Perry has interviewed many of the surviving team members. Much more than an account of a series of cricket matches, this is also a portrait of a collection of great characters all different, but all making a unique contribution. This incredible combination of sportsmen won 34 matches in a row over one gruelling summer. They were truly great and they were captained by the best cricketer the world has ever seen. BRADMAN'S INVINCIBLES is the story of what they did, and how they did it.

In 1948 as England was recovering from the effects of World War Two, for the last time in his career Don Bradman led a strong Australian cricket team to the British Isles. His intent was not only to retain the Ashes, but to do so by remaining undefeated on the tour across all matches, a feat never achieved by any of his predecessors. Every character on that tour was special in his own way. Don Bradman - in his last series as player and captain of Australia, obsessed with coming back undefeated, something no Australian captain had ever achieved. Keith Miller - war pilot, flamboyant personality, ladies' man, fearsome fast bowler and a powerful batsman. Neil Harvey - youngest member of the squad, fated to be the successor of the Don. Len Hutton - one of the greatest batsmen of all time, dropped inexplicably for a Test from an English side weakened by the effects of a long war. And of course the story of how Bradman's average remained at 99.94, the most famous number in the history of cricket.This book is the author's tribute to Bradman's Invincibles. It is a story that has been told before, but what this book does is weave the story around the tour of the characters who played such an important part, the post-war England that hosted the tour not long after the most devastating conflict in the history of mankind had ended, and tells the fascinating story of how through it all the single thread that kept it all together was one man's determination to make history in a manner that would never again be possible. Kersi-Meher Homji, Cricket Historian and author of 15 bestselling books including his newest - 'From Bradman to Kohli', writes a fascinating not-to-be-missed chapter detailing his personal encounters with the Invincibles. Anindya Dutta is an author and columnist who writes widely on cricket and other sports. His columns appear in the Hindustan Times, Sportstar, ESPN Cricinfo, The Cricket Monthly, Cricket Soccer, The Roar and many other websites and journals. This is his third book. The first two, 'A Gentleman's Game' and 'Spell-binding Spells' have been widely acclaimed and continue to remain at the top of Amazon Bestseller lists.

Hailed as one of the greatest cricket teams of all time, the 1948 'Invincibles' are the only Australians to complete an Ashes tour undefeated. Their crushing victories under Sir Donald Bradman's captaincy created history, even if the Don himself, on his final tour, was left stranded for ever with a Test batting average of 99.94 after his duck in the fifth Test. Yet the mixed feelings about the manner in which these feats were achieved are often forgotten. In his fascinating account of the legendary tour, Malcolm Knox exposes the rift between those players with experience of the horrors of active duty, epitomised by the fiery but sporting RAAF pilot Keith Miller, and those without, such as the invalid Bradman. Knox reveals unease among the fans, commentators and players - from both teams - about Bradman's resolute tactics, both on the field and in the pavilion. Bradman's ruthlessness, even against war-ravaged veterans at the county clubs, dashed hopes that the legacy of Bodyline would finally be laid to rest and the postwar game resume in a more congenial spirit. While Bradman's War celebrates the talents of the likes of Ray Lindwall, Sid Barnes, Lindsay Hassett, Bill Johnston, Arthur Morris and, of course, their incomparable captain, it also questions our appreciation of sporting entertainment when rivalries escalate - and competition verges on hostility. If the spoils are to the victor, what is there for lovers of the game?

Cricket is an enduring paradox. On the one hand, it symbolises much that is outmoded: imperialism; a leisured elite; a rural, aristocratic Englishness. On the other, it endures as a global game and does so by skilful adaptation, trading partly on its mythic past and partly on its capacity to repackage itself. This ambitious new history recounts the politics of cricket around the world since the Second World War, examining key cultural and political themes, including decolonisation, racism, gender, globalisation, corruption and commercialisation. Part One looks at the transformation of cricket cultures in the ten territories of the former British Empire in the years immediately after 1945, a time when decolonisation and the search for national identity touched every cricket playing region in the world. Part Two focuses on globalisation and the game’s evolution as an international sport, analysing: social change and the Ashes; the campaigns for new cricket formats; the development of the women’s game; the new breed of coach; the limits to the game’s global expansion; and the rise of India as the world’s leading cricket power. Cricket: A Political History of the Global Game, 1945-2017 is fascinating reading for anybody interested in the contemporary history of sport.

Letters Home gives access to the last major archive of Larkin's writing to remain unpublished: the letters to members of his family. These correspondences help tell the story of how Larkin came to be the writer and the man he was: to his father Sydney, a 'conservative anarchist' and admirer of Hitler, who died relatively early in Larkin's life; to his timid depressive mother Eva, who by contrast, lived long, and whose final years were shadowed by dementia; and to his sister Kitty, the sparse surviving fragment of whose correspondence with her brother gives an enigmatic glimpse of a complex and intimate relationship- But it was the years during which he and his sister looked after their mother in particular that shaped the writer we know so well: a number of poems written over this time are for her, and the mood of pain, shadow and despondency that characterises his later verse draws its strength from his experience of the long, lonely years of her senility. One surprising element in the volume, however, is the joie de vivre shown in the large number of witty and engaging drawings of himself and Eva, as 'Young Creature' and 'Old Creature', with which he enlivens his letters throughout the three decades of her widowhood.This important edition, meticulously edited by Larkin's biographer, James Booth, is a key piece of scholarship that completes the portrait of this most cherished of English poets.

This book focuses on the development of cricket in Australia, with a focus on the commercial and professional aspects of the game. It takes a historical approach and analyses the reasons behind the ebbs and flows of commercialisation in the game. It also applies economic analysis to help provide it with some original insights into the way in which the game is structured and has developed in Australia. The book would be of interest to a range of people both in Australia and abroad, who are interested in the manner in which sport in the modern world has become a commercialised pursuit.
