An Australian Summer: the Story of the 1

Following events both on and off the field, this is a record of England's 1998/99 cricket tour of Australia. Readers are taken behind the scenes to see what happened in dressing rooms, hotels, restaurants and bars, pubs and night clubs, hospitality suites, commentary boxes and umpires' rooms. Moving beyond cricket, the authors examine present-day Australia, as well as the Anglo-Australian relationship in 1999 - the year of the referendum on whether or not Australia should finally become a republic.
