Botham's Book of the Ashes
Author: Ian Botham
Publisher: Random House
ISBN: 1845969057
Category : Sports & Recreation
Languages : en
Pages : 177
Book Description
Sir Ian Botham and the Ashes are as closely intertwined as willow and leather or Merv Hughes and his moustache. You simply cannot think of one without the other. In this book, Sir Ian takes you on a ride through a lifetime's relationship with cricket's oldest and most treasured prize, revealing just how it has shaped his life and how he has helped to turn it into the contest it is today. From the moment he first watched the likes of Ken Barrington stride to the wicket in jaw-jutting defiance to the day he flayed Australia's bowling attack around Headingley as if playing with his mates in the park, and then onwards to his role in commentating on what was arguably the finest series of the lot, in 2005, Sir Ian has a rich and varied connection with the Ashes, and he tells all here. The Ashes is a series that has provided incredible highs and heartbreaking lows for English and Australian fans alike over the past 35 years. Sir Ian has often been at the centre of the roller-coaster ride. Whether it is his account of his days as England's dogsbody in 1977 in Melbourne or the story of his refusal to let Bob Willis bowl downwind until he was angry enough to skittle the Aussies in 1981, all is revealed in depth in Botham's Book of the Ashes.

The Ashes: It's All About the Urn
Author: Graeme Swann
Publisher: Hodder & Stoughton
ISBN: 1473670845
Category : Sports & Recreation
Languages : en
Pages : 316
Book Description
Shortlisted for Cricket Book of the Year at the British Sports Book Awards Graeme Swann leads us on a compelling adventure through one of world sport's most engrossing rivalries. He knows as much as anybody about the heat of England v Australia battles, having played in three series wins and also the whitewash defeat of 2013-14 when its intensity ended his international career. However, it brought out some of his best displays in Test cricket. But he is just one of dozens of colourful characters to have added their chapters to this great tome. The mock obituary of English cricket in the Sporting Times of 1882 was the forerunner of summers and winters of heaven and hell, depending on which side of the divide you were situated. When it comes to on-field relations nothing quite compares to the over-my-dead-body feel of the Ashes. From Grace to Sir Don, the most graceful of them all. From the foulest play to the fairest - contrast the 1932-33 Bodyline series affair to the image of Andrew Flintoff hunched over a distraught Brett Lee in 2005. From Ray Illingworth's famous walk-off in the Seventies, when an England team-mate was assaulted by a spectator, to Steve Waugh's hugely emotional lap of honour when he retired a quarter of a century later. Swann's book will reveal the magic of a series that first gripped him in his front room in Northampton as an aspiring spin bowler in the mid-1980s.

Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 225
Book Description
America is a land that drew families away from their native countries, many seeking to escape the turmoil of war and strife, others from overcrowding, poverty, famine, or pestilence. Follow the lives of three families living in a small town in rural Minnesota, where second and third generations plus new arrivals are paving a new way of life but still holding tight to the traditions and history of their ancestors. They share friendship and faith during the 1930s, when prohibition followed with the depression are woven into their life experiences. They led rich, full lives filled with laughter and sharing in spite of these adversities. Parents and grandparents were thankful that the children could grow up free from the fear and turmoil of war. They were grateful that they had found peace and the space for their families to not only grow but to excel in the peace and beauty of the Minnesota landscape. They were thankful that they had found the strength, courage, and fortitude to leave their ancestral homes to forge new lives, and that they had found . . . the courage to rise from the ashes.
