Customer Reviews

By far the best on its subject - splendid throughout
This book written by William Powell is a very informative account of Australian tours to England since the first in 1878.

It covers extensively the Bradman era and is brought right up to date with the Waugh twins and even Shane Warne.

The collection of pictures including action shots is excellent.
