It is a game of deep tradition - a showcase for top talent, and an epic clash of nations - yet for all its claims to legend, it has continually evolved to suit the times. At the 150th anniversary of Test cricket, award-winning sportswriter Malcolm Knox presents a new history of the game, recounting the personalities and contexts behind iconic turning points with the passion of a life-long devotee. Along the way, he examines the eternal tensions - between players and their countries, sportsmanship and the thirst for victory - that have shaped Test cricket's transformation from an English gentleman's sport to a global, multi-billion-dollar industry. From the Golden Age to the Invincibles, Bodyline to betting scandals, and W.G. Grace to Shane Warne to Virat Kohli, The Long Game masterfully captures the spirit of a game that has enthralled generations, and reminds us why the Test endures as the pinnacle of cricketing success.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"TDLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42895288991824,"sku":"9781761773761","price":54.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0211\/2428\/files\/9781761773761_1.jpg?v=1788506784","url":"https:\/\/beaumarisbooks.com.au\/products\/long-game-1","provider":"Beaumaris Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
