Description

An inside account of England's Ashes triumph in Australia 2010/11.England's much celebrated Ashes win by two clear matches with three comprehensive innings victories must rank as one of the finest of any English cricket team from any era.

It kept people at home glued to their televisions, computers and radios - often all three at the same time - long into the night as the bitter winter and a depressed economy were forced into the background by the sheer joy and exhilaration of giving the old enemy a trouncing.It had been twenty-two years since a touring side won three Tests in Australia and twenty-four since the Ashes were last won on Australian soil.

The current England team bears worthy comparison with some of the legendary teams of the past, captained by greats like Brearley, Hutton and Jardine. Andrew Strauss with back-to-back Ashes wins can now sit amongst that illustrious company.From the first ball of the tour in Perth to a closing rendition of the infamous 'Sprinkler Dance' on the outfield in Sydney some two months later - a clip that received some 250,000 hits in just three days - one person was there throughout, BBC Cricket Correspondent Jonathan Agnew, better known to his legion of Test Match Special fans as 'Aggers'.Following the success of his last book Thanks, Johnners, Agnew has written a highly personal diary of his experiences in Australia.

Whether he is sharing late night conversations in the bar with England coach Andy Flower, exchanging banter with new TMS recruit Michael Vaughan or keeping cricket junkies around the world sated with his daily Twitter feed, Aggers brings his unique sense of theatre and excitement to every day's proceedings.With additional contributions from the best BBC cricket bloggers and the resident TMS statistician, Aggers Ashes is the only companion you will need to relive those glorious days when history was made Down Under.
