The reports are new and comprehensive, intended to give the reader the feel of being at the ground, or reading the report as they would have done in the newspaper of the day. I have tried to describe most of the wickets that fell in the battle for the Ashes during this momentus series. The facts are taken from a number of books of the period and re written to give it a more modern feel. Enjoy.
