«Stiff Upper Lips and Baggy Green Caps» is Simon Briggs's essay on cricket history, published by Quercus in paperback (368 pages, in English).
It covers more than a century of the Ashes series, the classic England-Australia cricket rivalry, with a light-hearted tone full of anecdotes and controversies. Far from Wisden-style statistics, it discusses Bodyline (1932-33), Lillee and Thomson (1974-75), and the frictions of modern editions, with diplomatic incidents and colourful characters.
The 2013 edition published by Quercus is the second revised one; the work originally appeared in 2006.
For cricket fans and sports history enthusiasts who want to learn about the most controversial and light-hearted episodes of the Ashes series.
