A great cricket series, as reported by a great cricket writer.
High hopes were held for the Ashes of 2023. They were exceeded in an instant classic of five Tests between a bold England and a battling Australia, finally drawn two-all. Ashes 2023 captures all the drama and skill, as well as the controversy over a stumping at Lord’s that followed in the tradition of Bodyline as a clash of cultures and of stereotypes. With a foot in both camps, Gideon Haigh wrote for The Australian in Australia and The Times in the UK. This book mixes his popular match reports with new material to create a priceless memento of an unforgettable series.

Gideon Haigh''s new book covers all the great figures and major issues of cricket, by collecting all his best writing about the game. There are profiles of players past and present - Bradman, Ranjitsinhji, Benaud and Sobers from the past, Steve Waugh, Shane Warne and Wasim Akram from the present. He covers the big issues in the game: sledging, match-fixing, Kerry Packer, Zimbabwe, umpiring. He writes about cricket''s best writers - Swanton, C.L.R. James - and ponders the game''s most halcyon and unique aspects: slow bowling, captaincy, the essence of good batting. Haigh has now established himself as one of the finest writers on the game - author of one acknowledged masterpiece, Mystery Spinner, a comic classic, Many a Slip - and one of its most most shrewd commentators, who gets widely reviewed both by the cricket media and the national press. This book is likely to attract the same attention.

Gideon Haigh''s first collection of cricket pieces, "Game for Anything", was published by Aurum in 2004 and soon sold out. This is the follow-up, also featuring a striking and off-beat cover picture. Since "Game for Anything" appeared, Haigh has published two more books with Aurum: his book on the remarkable 2005 "Ashes" series - and his preceding coverage for the "Guardian" - really made his name as the best writer currently covering the game, and sold extremely well. And his collaboration with Wisden on "Peter the Cat" and other "Unexpected Obituaries" from Wisden has already been hailed as a delightful and covetable little volume. Meanwhile Haigh''s earlier "Mystery Spinner" is now acknowledged as one of the classics about the game, and his hilarious diary of a club cricket season, "Many a Slip", continues to sell and reprint. In this new collection of cricket writing, Haigh ranges from tributes on the death of great players like Bradman and Miller, essays on perennial cause celebres like Bodyline, profiles of modern virtuosi like Viv Richards and Steve Waugh, and whimsical disquisitions on everything from stumps and boxes to wicketkeeping and appealing. Sure to be well-reviewed, it will be bought by Haigh''s ever-growing band of admirers.
