Simon Hughes tells the stories of ten extraordinary Ashes encounters, drawn from every period of Test match history. With an innovative and distinctive approach Hughes selects each match as a narrative spine packed with thrillingly evocative detail, alongside the issues, controversies, heroes and villains of each match. With both fascinating analysis of ten unforgettable Test matches and fast-paced history of 135 years of cricket's fiercest rivalry, this is the perfect way for cricket lovers to prepare for the ten-match feast of Ashes cricket that begins in Nottingham in July 2013 and ends in Sydney in January 2014.
Simon Hughes is cricket's Analyst. In 2002 he won the Royal Television Society's Sports Pundit of the Year Award, while his insights during the epic 2005 Ashes brought the technical side of the game to a new audience. Simon's commentaries have not only been enjoyed by Channel Four, Five and Test Match Special audiences, but by readers of his regular column in the Daily Telegraph. This is Simon's seventh book. His first - A Lot of Hard Yakka - scooped sports writing's biggest prize: The William Hill Sports Book of the Year Award. His illustrious writing career followed an equally sparkling cricket career as a fast bowler for Middlesex 1980-91 where he won ten titles including four county championships. 1999 saw Simon begin his stint as the groundbreaking Analyst on Channel 4's award-winning cricket coverage, which won 28 awards in its 7-year span, including six Baftas.
