A detailed chronicle of one of the greatest eras in Ashes cricket, Cricket Decade captures ten thrilling years of England v Australia Tests from 1946 to 1956. J.M. Kilburn—one of Britain’s most respected cricket writers—provides insightful commentary and first-hand analysis of cricketing greats including Bradman, Compton, Lindwall, and Miller.

 

Illustrated with black-and-white photographs, this is a classic post-war cricket history that highlights the evolution of the Ashes and the spirit of the game.

 

First editions of Kilburn’s Cricket Decade are increasingly scarce, particularly with the original dustcover.  Includes an original publisher’s William Heinemann Ltd promotional reply card—an uncommon inclusion.
