“In the Ashes Captains, Gerry Cotter describes the eccentrics and the aristocrats the gentlemen and the players, the geniuses and the forgotten men, who make up the 34 Australian and 44 English captains.  From Lillywhite and Gregory to Border and Gatting – taking in the Bradmans, Brearleys and Chappells – the author profiles each captain, supporting the analysis with statistics for every Ashes series and a discussion of the strengths and weaknesses of the teams they led.
Fully illustrated both with black and white photographs – including one of every captain – and with superb colour action shots, The Ashes Captains is an invaluable pictorial record of 110 years of England-Australia Tests.”
