Description: Cricket Classics Boxed Set Ashes, Unders & Overs, The Gloves of Irony (HC) VGC, Swan Publishing. Ashes - Battles & Belly Laughs (1990)Thirty-seven contributing authors - including many of the biggest names in postwar Ashes confrontations - take you beyond the dour, uncompromising on-field struggles and into the laughter zone which has always been a part of the background when these two countries meet on the cricket arena. Cartoons by Jeff Hook. Unders and Overs - The Controversies of Cricket by Greg Chappell (1981)"Much has been said and written about the events of the 1980/81 cricket season. Having been out in the middle, I witnessed most of the incidents at close quarters - sometimes a little too close for comfort.Most of these incidents will fade into the obscurity of cricket history. But before they do, I would like to take the opportunity of giving a personal view of what took place." - Greg Chappell The Gloves of Irony by Rod Marsh (1982)"It is fair to say this book was born of self-defence.Too many questions were left unanswered about Rodney Marsh after the Australian cricket team's 1981 tour of England. Was Marsh - 'Old Irongloves' - the type of man who would punch innocent bystanders and wreck dressing rooms?Is he the type of man the press would have you believe? The book was written, not to clear my name, but merely to tell my side of the stories.It is developed from there to include highlights of the 1981-82 Australian summer, and our tour of New Zealand." - Rodney Marsh.
