Cassell & Co., 1975. Good second-hand condition.

The captain of the 1956 Australian Test team begins his entertaining book on a serious note, by tracing the history and development of Australian cricket since the war, showing how Australia achieved a peak of brilliance and team consolidation in 1948, and the subsequent decline after 1950, closing this section with a discussion of the individual matches in the Test rubber of 1956, so that they fall into focus against the general trend. With complete modesty as to his own contribution, and with no more partiality than is human, he endeavours to address the factors and the implications in Australia's third consecutive unsuccessful attempt to gain the Ashes, and to justify his view that the tide is already on the turn in Australia's favour.
