About this book

July 2019, and players’ shadows are lengthening over Lord’s in the evening sun. It’s the final over, and as Ben Stokes dives for the ground, a ball thrown from the deep accidentally clips his outstretched bat, gaining him an accidental six. He’s forced a super over. It’s an outrageous moment of good fortune – and one that’ll see England to their first Cricket World Cup victory.

This is the story of international cricket, told in newspaper articles spanning over a century.

Beginning in 1905, fans can travel back through cricketing history, era by era – the controversial bodyline series in 1932-33, England’s first Ashes win in 20 years in ‘53, Australian dominance, Botham’s Ashes, the dawn of T20, and that 2019 World Cup. Along the way you’ll revisit the test matches won, Ashes contested and World Cups battled through – with plenty of appearances from India, the West Indies, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and of course Australia along the way.

Archivist insight: We reproduce these newspaper articles from scan archives. In some cases, there’ll be blemishes and the reproduction quality might not be as clear or precise as it was in the original paper.

The History of International Cricket FAQs

How long will this book take to arrive?

Each of our orders is printed on demand, made special just for you and the reader you’ve created it for! Typically, it takes 1-3 days for our workshops to receive, make, and finally hand each order over to the postal carriers for delivery.

Are the pages real, or reproductions of newspapers?

The pages are scans of original newspaper pages. Every effort has been made to clean up scans to make them as clear as possible. In some instances there will be blemishes and the reproduction quality may not be as clear or precise as copying directly from the actual papers itself.
