400. Mike Brearley - Phoenix From The Ashes

Another one from the attic, I don’t know why as there is lots of space in cricket books downstairs. This is about Botham’s Ashes in 1981.

I found it a bit disappointing; pretty much a narrative of the series, slightly emotionally written given Brearley’s re- appointment as captain after Botham’s sacking, but with no great substance – Brearley’s 'The Art of Captaincy' as I remember it (thought I had a copy) is far more interesting.
