Three years after the 2005 Ashes victory, the England team has reverted to type. In 2007, it lost three out of four Test series and got nowhere in the ICC World Cup and Twenty20 tournaments.
Since 1987, Australia has thrashed England 34 games to nine in Tests and won four World Cups to England’s none. Today, Australia has five cricket stadiums with more than 30,000 seats to England’s none. Their team is accessible to all on Channel Nine, but England fans have to pay £400 a year for Sky.
Why? And why are so many of our players injured? Why is Lord’s so exclusive and expensive? Who actually runs this game and what are they trying to do?
Using Australia as the model and inspiration, Pommies explains what is wrong with England cricket and presents a radical plan to improve the national team and open up the game for fans.
Once you have read this book, you will never see England cricket the same way again.
