For more than a century England and Australia have done battle on the cricket pitch - and since 1882 have fought for the
Ashes.This confrontation has always been one of the sport's most compelling spectacles,producing many of the game's finest captains.This is the story of all 78 who have led their country in England-Australia Tests.In the ASHES CAPTAINS, Gerry COTTER,describes the eccentrics and
the aristocrats,the gentlemen and the players,the geniuses and the forgotten men,who make up the 34 Australian and 44 English captains.From LILLYWHITE and GREGORY to BORDER and GATTING - taking in the BRADMAN's, BREARLEY's and CHAPPELL's - the author profiles each captain, supporting the analysis with statistics for every Ashes series and a discussion of the strengths and weaknesses of the teams they led.Fully illustrated both with
b/w photographs - including one each of every captain - and colour action shots, and is an invaluable pictorial record of 110 years of English-Australia Tests.
