Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Ashes of Achievement "The Lamp of our Youth will be utterly out; hut we shall subsist on the smell of it, And whatever we do, we shall fold our hands and suck our gums and think well of it. Yes, we shall be perfectly pleased with our work, and that it the perfectest Hell of it!" - The Old Men The road from Deniliquin, glimmers, gray and uninviting, across a changeless expanse of browned grass, like a soiled ribbon on a drab's hair. It narrows to a point miles ahead, with something like a promise of fulfilment, only to widen maliciously as you approach, to march endlessly on as before, dull and level, an exasperating highway. Like a crawling insect the doctor's buggy crept across the plain. Dr. Payne would have indignantly questioned the word "crept," for he would never use a horse that could not do its level ten miles, and indeed the term is but a comparative one, for any progress seemed almost imperceptible in that country of vast distances. The "clop-clop" of the horse was pleasantly muted in the dust, spirals of which slowly mounted into the still, hot air, and marked for miles the passage of the open buggy. Odo Kent, two days off the English boat, looked about him curiously. Inwardly he was wondering how his old school chum could stand this grim monotony.

Download or read book The Ashes Strangest Moments written by Mark Baldwin and published by Franz Steiner Verlag. This book was released on 2005-05-27 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An entertaining collection of extraordinary but true tales from over a century of the Ashes, cricket's most famous international contest. The book contains episodes from all of the most famous series', including the controversial 1932-33 Bodyline series; England’s momentous victory in the coronation year of 1953; their dramatic last-minute win following a freak rainstorm that flooded the Oval in 1968; Beefy’s Ashes of 1981; and the plague of injuries that forced out all but four of England’s original sixteen-man squad in 1994. Great bowlers and batsmen alike are all featured, whether Aussie or Pom, from W.G. Grace to Shane Warne. This year's Ashes (2009) are to take place in England - the first test starts on July 8th in Cardiff (a new venue), while the second, third, fourth and fifth tests will be held at Lords, Edgbaston, Headingley and the Oval respectively. With the England team once again in good form, a solid captain in Andrew Strauss (which also leaves Kevin Pieterson to concentrate on his superb batting), and Australia not quite as strong since Glenn McGrath, Shane Warne and Justin Langer's retirement, it promises to be an exciting and closely-fought series. This summer the nation will once again take test cricket to its heart - all the more so since the collapse of Stanford's 20/20.

Download or read book Telegraph Book of the Ashes 2013 written by Telegraph and published by Aurum Press Limited. This book was released on 2013-11-01 with total page 279 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This summer's Ashes was another unforgettable instalment in the oldest and greatest rivalry in international sport. From the thrilling denouement at Trent Bridge, when Australia came within 19 runs of an incredible victory, to the stunning spell of hostile fast bowling from Stuart Broad in Durham and England's frantic run-chase in the gloom at the Oval in pursuit of an historic 4-0 series victory, the series was never less than engrossing. And - as always in an Ashes summer - there was as much intrigue off the field. David Warner made himself the English public's favourite pantomime villain by taking a swing at Joe Root before a ball was bowled, controversy raged over the standards of umpiring and the use of the Decision Review System while Darren Lehmann stoked the fires ahead of the return series Down Under with his infamous radio rant at Broad. The Daily and Sunday Telegraph's unbeatable team of cricket writers were present through the 2013 series to deliver the definitive account of events. Derek Pringle, Paul Hayward, Scyld Berry, Simon Hughes, Jim White, Steve James and Nick Hoult dissected events with forensic detail, and former captains Michael Vaughan and Geoffrey Boycott, together with Australian spinning legend Shane Warne, set the agenda with their hard-hitting columns. So, as you tick off the days to the first Test in Brisbane, relive the splendour of Ian Bell's three centuries, Ashton Agar's record-breaking debut, Root's stunning innings at Lord's and the spectacular bowling of Graeme Swann and James Anderson, as chronicled in the pages of the Daily and Sunday Telegraph.

Download or read book Andrew Strauss Winning the Ashes Down Under written by Andrew Strauss and published by Hodder & Stoughton. This book was released on 2011-08-04 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In November 2010, Andrew Strauss faced the ultimate challenge for an England cricket captain: winning the Ashes on Australian soil, a feat that had not been achieved for 24 years. By the end of a series that gripped the nation, he had led his team to an overwhelming victory - inflicting an unprecedented three innings defeats on the old enemy. Winning the Ashes Down Under is the captain's story of a tour that exceeded all expectations. It not only reveals what went on behind the scenes as Andrew Strauss and coach Andy Flower put together their team of winners, but also paints a very personal picture of day-to-day life on tour. It is an inspiring tale of how hostile conditions, injury and intimidating reputations were overcome by leadership, planning, a slice of good fortune - and extraordinary performances from the likes of Alastair Cook and Jonathan Trott with the bat, and James Anderson and Chris Tremlett with the ball. Ranging from reverse swing to the sprinkler dance, from referrals to sledging, from despair at Perth to triumph at Sydney, this is the definitive account of a series that will live long in the memory.
