Download or read book Bodyline Autopsy written by David Frith and published by Aurum. This book was released on 2013-06-24 with total page 480 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1932, England’s cricket team, led by the haughty Douglas Jardine, had the fastest bowler in the world: Harold Larwood. Australia boasted the most prolific batsman the game had ever seen: the young Don Bradman. He had to be stopped. The leg-side bouncer onslaught inflicted by Larwood and Bill Voce, with a ring of fieldsmen waiting for catches, caused an outrage that reverberated to the back of the stands and into the highest levels of government. Bodyline, as this infamous technique came to be known, was repugnant to the majority of cricket-lovers. It was also potentially lethal – one bowl fracturing the skull of Australian wicketkeeper Bert Oldfield – and the technique was outlawed in 1934. After the death of Don Bradman in 2001, one of the most controversial events in cricketing history – the Bodyline technique - finally slid out of living memory. Over seventy years on, the 1932-33 Ashes series remains the most notorious in the history of Test cricket between Australia and England. David Frith’s gripping narrative has been acclaimed as the definitive book on the whole saga: superbly researched and replete with anecdotes, Bodyline Autopsy is a masterly anatomy of one of the most remarkable sporting scandals.

Book excerpt: This is the story of the First Great Test Series between Australia and England. AE Stoddart and his team sailed to Australia late in 1894 and played five sensational Test matches against Australia. With the teams level at 2-all before the decisive Melbourne Test in March 1895, public interest was frantic. Without the benefit of television or radio broadcasts, cricket-lovers in Melbourne crowded outside the offices of the Argus and Australasian as they tried to catch a glimpse of the score on the progress board. It's said that even Queen Victoria demanded to be kept up to date with events during the 'match of the century'. No cricket tour book has been delayed as long as this one (just on 100 years) and no Test series has better deserved a chronicle in book form. Highly-respected cricket author and magazine editor David Frith brings back vividly the action in those five Tests and the personalities of the Australian and English cricketers who made them so exciting. Widely acknowledged as one of the game's leading researchers and historians, David Frith is also a fine writer, and the result is a book which recaptures the freshness of a memorable tour as though it took place only yesterday.

Book excerpt: 'Ever since Test cricket began, the position of Australian cricket captain has been the top sporting job in the country. It has had enormous prestige, and has been held by men more popular than any governor, state leader or prime minister ... After more than 120 years of Test cricket, the position of captain of Australia has maintained its high-profile image, prestige and popularity beyond any public office. ' (Roland Perry from the introduction to CAPTAIN AUSTRALIA) CAPTAIN AUSTRALIA tells the remarkable story of each of the 41 Australian Test cricket captains, from the first Test Australia played in 1877 to the brilliant Test successes of the 2000-01 season. Roland Perry celebrates each Australian cricket captain and explores the role each Test skipper has played in shaping Australia's reputation as a great cricketing nation. From the wit and wherewithal of Will Murdoch in 1890, to the determination of battling Allan Border in 1990; from the winning ways of the imposing Warwick Armstrong, to those of current captain Steve Waugh, eighty years apart, each leader has been an individual of the highest calibre, with his own unique style. CAPTAIN AUSTRALIA explores the quirks and individualism of each captain; from the inspirational cricketers, such as Vic Richardson and his grandson Ian Chappell; to the quiet achievers, such as Billy Woodfull and Bobby Simpson; to the supreme skills and dominance of the late Sir Donald Bradman. CAPTAIN AUSTRALIA remembers the famous incidents of the captains' careers - such as the mock obituary notice, during Will Murdoch's captaincy in 1882, announcing the 'cremation' of English cricket, which led to the introduction of 'the Ashes' series - and the lesser known facts, such as the alternate careers each captain also had to maintain while leading Australia's Test side for months at a time, in the years before cricket turned professional. CAPTAIN AUSTRALIA, first published in hardback in November 2000, has been revised as a trade paperback to include updated material on Sir Donald Bradman, Steve Waugh, and Waugh's replacement Test skipper for part of the 2000-01 season, Adam Gilchrist. CAPTAIN AUSTRALIA, is a compelling and highly readable history of Australian cricket and its leadership. REVIEWS: 'Comparing great cricketers of different eras is fraught with danger. Roland Perry has risen to the challenge.' ----THE BULLETIN 'Students of the great game will love Roland Perry's CAPTAIN AUSTRALIA.' ----SUNDAY MAIL (Brisbane) 'The most interesting chapter is that on Ian Chappell which notes cultural and political connections between Chappell, Bob Hawke, the advertising guru John Singleton, 1970s '"ockerism" and the promotion of WSC.' -----THE AGE
