Full description for Ashes 2009

• 'One of the great modern cricket writers' Wisden Cricketer 'Haigh writes as originally as anyone on the game' Private Eye Gideon Haigh's book on the triumphant 2005 Ashes series was hailed by Time Out as 'Excellent' and by The Times as 'High-quality journalism that crackles with sparky insight'. It was the first book out on that series, and quickly sold 15,000 copies. Now Aurum rushes out his book on the 2009 series only weeks after its dramatic finale. The Ultimate Test features day-by-day accounts of the play in every Test, along with brilliant analysis by one of the most witty, erudite and acclaimed writers on the modern game. Haigh's earlier books include Mystery Spinner, which was hailed as 'a masterpiece' and 'a classic'. He covered the entire series for The Timers and for cricinfo. Aurum publishes The Ultimate Test in B-format hardback at an impulse-buy price of GBP12.99. There are 8 pages of full-colour photographs of dramatic images from all five Tests. Gideon Haigh covered this Ashes series for The Times. He also writes for The Wisden Cricketer and the cricinfo website. His previous cricket books for Aurum include Mystery Spinner, Many a Slip, The Big Ship ( 'Not so much a great cricket book as a great book tout court', Francis Wheen, Wisden Cricketer's Almanack) and Silent Revolutions. He lives in Melbourne, Australia.
