From the celebrated mock obituary following England's first-ever defeat by Australia on home soil in 1882, to the on-pitch insults (or sledges') of today, Ashes cricket has spawned nearly as many memorable quotes as it has balls bowled and runs scored.§§BLOOD ON THE PITCH charts the ebb and flow of Anglo-Aus-tralian cricketing fortunes across 131 years and 314 matches by telling the stories behind 100 memorable Ashes quotations. From fast bowler Jeff Thomson's classic I enjoy hitting a batsman more than getting him out. I like to see blood on the pitch' in 1975, to Michael Clark's notorious advice to Jimmy Anderson to get ready for a f broken arm' in 2013, the quotations embrace quips, insults, examples of the dark art of sledging - and even the occasional considered cricketing judgement.§§Evoking memorable moments and matches as well as highs and lows in the careers of Australia and England's greatest players, BLOOD ON THE PITCH is an informal, freewheeling, discursive and entertainingly opinionated history of the Ashes.
