The Prince and Doctor: The 1893 Australian Tour to England and North America
A fascinating and unique history of Australia's 1893 tour to England and North America - the first book to chronicle this year; a decade after the birth of the Ashes era. The action begins at the commencement of the tour's eight month cycle, with the Australian team's confidences running high, and Jack Blackham's men looking to inflict a second successive series defeat on their English counterparts. En route back home, the Australian team cross the Atlantic to continue their tour; they visit the Philadelphia Cricket Club and play six matches against US and Canadian opposition. This section provides an interesting snapshot into the development of cricket in Northern America at a time of economic disarray.
