Front Cover
Hachette Australia, 2008 - Literary Collections - 474 pages
In 2008, Australia celebrated two important anniversaries 60 years since the triumphant Invincibles Ashes tour of England, and 100 years since the birth of Sir Donald Bradman.
At last, here is the definitive account of that amazing tour. It is very much an inside account : Roland Perry conducted long, in-depth interviews with Sir Donald while writing his biography some years ago and now writes of them for the first time. In addition, Roland Perry has interviewed many of the surviving team members.
Much more than an account of a series of cricket matches, this is also a portrait of a collection of great characters all different, but all making a unique contribution.
This incredible combination of sportsmen won 34 matches in a row over one gruelling summer. They were truly great and they were captained by the best cricketer the world has ever seen. BRADMAN'S INVINCIBLES is the story of what they did, and how they did it.
