A Simple Thank You
Thanks
for taking the time to look around the site, I hope
you have found something interesting, information
you were looking for or just had a good browse.
At
the time of writing this page I only have a few people
to thank, however they are important, as I would never
have been able to even start a project of such magnitude
without the information.
I
had the idea for the site after looking through the
web and not being able to find one place that offered
the complete history of the Ashes - and so the site
was born !
Thankyou
to Authors Peter Arnold and Peter Wynne Thomas for
writing their book :-
A
Complete Illustrated History of the Ashes. The book is superb and, if you
can get hold of a copy then I cannot recommend the
book highly enough.
Some
information on players past and present has been taken
from the book by Christopher Martin-Jenkins 'World
Cricketers' written in 1996.
I
would also like to thank Cricinfo for being there and having such a great resource
in cricketing history, this is the best site on the
net for anything cricket, well worth a visit.
As
the site grows I will add my appreciation to others
who will have helped me, but for now thanks.
Simon Curry for his support and introduction to the
Bodyline Series, David and John Liverman for some of
the player profiles and to Cricinfo for having archived
some of the test details !! Some of the information
on Harold Larwood comes from his book 'The Larwood story',
written by Larwood and Kevin Perkins.
