Rezensionen / Stimmen

'Cricket-lovers who know Gideon Haigh's work will need no convincing: those who don't will find this an ideal place to start. What makes Haigh so good? One reason is that he not only tells us what happened, he explains what it meant, where it fits into cricket history, of which he has a consummate grasp. Above all, he is a supreme stylist, with the ability to make one laugh out loud.' - Simon Redfern's 'Sports Book of the Week' 'Covers each Test, day by day, offering insightful thoughts in Haigh's elegant prose. Excellent reading.' 'Incisive, evocative and deft contemporary account of England's triumph' - BOOKS OF THE YEAR 'Cricket-lovers who know Gideon Haigh's work will need no convincing: those who don't will find this an ideal place to start.

'A wonderful way of reliving a magical moment in English cricket'

'(Haigh) is the most elegant of writers whose prose is a delight to read whatever the content. 10/10 - this is the best tour book we've read.'
