Author: MARTIN-JENKINS, CHRISTOPHER.
Title: The Jubilee Tests. England v Australia 1977 and the Packer Revolution.
Description: London: Macdonald and Jane's, 1977. 0354042300. 1st edition. "Cricket historians may well see the year 1977 to have been the most important in the history of the game. It was drama-packed almost from the time the first ball was bowled in the Centenary Test spectacular at Melbourne in March. Not only did that match celebrate 100 years of Test cricket between England and Australia (and incidentally set up the summer's struggle for the Ashes), but it also brought together the chief participants in the 'Packer revolution'." Pp.viii/207, 16 pages of black & white photos by Patrick Eagar, owner's name to front free endpaper. Yellow/cream cloth, slightly cocked, dustwrapper. G+/G+.
