The Australians in England 1968 is Bobby Simpson’s detailed account of the Australian cricket team’s 1968 Ashes tour of England. As captain of that touring side, Simpson offers first-hand insights into the players, tactics, and memorable contests of the series. The book blends narrative with analysis, including match reports, player profiles, and behind-the-scenes observations of the international cricketing scene during one of the sport’s most competitive eras.
Beautifully presented in red boards with gilt lettering and the Stanley Paul emblem, the book captures the tension and camaraderie of Test cricket, with commentary that reflects Simpson’s deep understanding of both leadership and the technical craft of the game.
