About this book:
Australian Test Journal is a vivid, day-by-day diary by renowned English cricket commentator and journalist John Arlott, chronicling the 1954-55 Ashes series between Australia and England.
Published in 1955 (this is a book club edition from 1956), it captures the drama of the five-Test tour with Arlott’s poetic prose and insightful observations, detailing England’s remarkable 3-1 comeback under captain Len Hutton to retain the Ashes after losing the first Test by an innings in Brisbane.
Highlights include Frank Tyson’s ferocious fast bowling that turned the series, with England victories in Sydney, Melbourne, and Adelaide, plus a drawn final Test in Sydney, alongside reflections on a stopover match in Colombo.
