John Lazenby's interest in cricket began with a glimpse of his grandfather's old leather cricket bag stored among the rafters. His curiosity piqued, one day he decided to climb up and explore its contents. The faded blazer, heavy ball and linseed-scented bats exerted a subtle influence on him. This re-emerged decades later when he discovered a box of letters written by his grandfather, the England cricketer J. R. Mason, while on a boat to Australia for the 1897-8 Ashes tour. Inspired by these extraordinary letters, John Lazenby retraces the journey. His tour becomes a cricketing pilgrimage and a voyage of discovery as he passes through Australian cities and remote towns his grandfather visited more than a hundred years ago. During his travels he uncovers a wealth of memorabilia and anecdotes, and his wide-reaching narrative encompasses not only Mason and his team-mates, but also a wider insight into late Victorian mores.

The 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. Beautifully produced, this book will be a welcome addition to all cricket enthusiasts' collections, as well as an ideal gift purchase. This updated edition includes the 2009 series, which saw England regain the Ashes on home soil after the disappointment of the 2005-06 series, and the fantastic, recent 2010-11 series held in Australia. It also includes a colour photo section celebrating the players, the matches and the key moments from an ongoing rivalry.

Born in a country town in South Australia in a house built by his Welsh father, Ernie Jones (1869-1943) was the archetypal ‘rough diamond’ fast bowler, arguably Australia’s first, inevitably a big hitter, and an inspiration to poets. He is said to have bowled or even thrown the ball ‘through W.G. Grace’s beard’ in the first match of Australia’s tour of England in 1896. In the winters he was a top-level Australian Rules footballer. With help from 'Jonah’s' descendants and from local archive material, Bernard Whimpress, a leading historian of Australian cricket, traces a remarkable career in which he even signed up to play for Sussex. On the way we take in Australia’s mining cities of Broken Hill and Kalgoorlie, the tragedies of the deaths of his children, labouring at the Adelaide Oval, working as a wharfie at Fremantle, and doing the heavy work, searching ships as a Customs man. Jones’ story is a big man’s struggle against adversity.
