Description: An original first edition of Ashes and Dust by D.R. Jardine, this book serves as a fascinating continuation of the author’s earlier work In Quest of the Ashes (1933), which covered the infamous “Bodyline” tour.

In Ashes and Dust, Jardine turns his analytical eye to the 1934 Ashes Test series — the return contest in England that followed one of the most controversial chapters in cricket history.

Written with the precision and intellect for which Jardine was known as England’s captain, the book offers a measured yet insightful examination of the strategies, personalities, and shifting dynamics that defined the series. Jardine provides a tactical breakdown of England’s performances, reflections on leadership and sportsmanship, and candid assessments of both his own team and the formidable Australian side led by Bill Woodfull and featuring Don Bradman at his peak.
