Daring Young Men - Mcc Tour to Australia - 1954-55

MCC Tour of Australia and New Zealand - 1954-55. This is the story of a successful Ashes tour to Australasia. The party was led by legendary Yorkshire batsman Len Hutton and took with them the Ashes, won in 1953. After a resounding defeat in the first Test match, the MCC team found new inspiration and won three successive Test matches to retain the Ashes - much to many people's surprise. This was an historic Ashes series and Alan Hill's lively account of the tour and the exploits of England's young cricketers who dared to challenge the mighty Australians will enthral all lovers of the noble game.
