2005 will mark the seventy-fifth anniversary of Don Bradman's first tour to England to contest an Ashes series. For Bradman, still only 21 year old, the tour was a massive personal triumph after which he was established as the world's best batsman - an accolade that would remain with him until his last tour in 1948. On the 1930 tour, Bradman broke many records in the five Tests and in matches against the Counties he made several big scores at an electrifying pace. This book describes the tour and Bradman's contribution to it. Written in a lively style and drawing on Bradman's own thoughts at the time it presents the cricket fan with a vivid account of a defining period in the game.
