From Steve Waugh’s one-legged hundred to Stuart Broad picking a fight with a boundary robot, this celebration of the funniest, weirdest and most absurd moments from Ashes cricket is a new, richly amusing exploration of this timeless rivalry.

This book gets five stars despite the fact that it’s missing my favourite ridiculous Ashes moment of Australia declaring behind and Rene Farrell taking a hat trick to beat England in the 2011 women’s Ashes. That’s how funny it is.
