Description
"[Most post-Ashes books are] pretty humdrum... one book does stand out. The skill is in the retelling of the action through so many different voices." THE INDEPENDENT ON SUNDAY, 16 October "The pick of the post-Ashes cricket books from those who took part in the series is Ashes Victory. The book lets the action do the talking in the form of a highly readable narrative." YORKSHIRE POST, 21 October "A seamless narrative that captures the intensity of the series and roars along... Hayter's gift for mimickry makes him a sports-writing version of Rory Bremner... anyone who can do character dialogue as well as he can should be writing plays." WISDEN CRICKETER, Dec 05 "A handsome, well-written account... articulate and revealing. The linking prose is literate to a degree remarkable in a book about sport. This book is a document to be preserved about an often agonising drama." SPECTATOR, 12 Nov "Among the best (of the Ashes books) was Ashes Victory" THE SCOTSMAN, 17 December
