An Australian rant against the perceived unsportsmanlike behaviour of Jardine's Bodyline team in the infamous 1932-33 Ashes series. The author, thought to be W.R. Staton, rants unrelentingly, believing that "Australia has always been the target for criticism - very often unjust criticism - from English visitors, big men and peering littlenesses alike". 8vo. 90pp. Pictorial boards, general spotting and boards a little warped. A very good copy of a rare and interesting book.
