Description du livre Hardcover. Etat : new. Hardcover. All-India and Down Under is the dramatic story of two cricket tours undertaken in the aftermath of the Second World War. For seven years the war had put the careers of England's cricketers on hold. Then, in 1946, England played three Tests against 'All-India'. However, it proved to be the last such tour: by mid-1947, Indian partition had cut the country in two, a process that was violent and bloody. While the tourists were in England, struggling in a cold, wet summer, their own country was in turmoil. As that tour drew to a close in September, the MCC sent a party of war-weary cricketers to Australia to play the first Ashes series since 1938. The English were ill-prepared, some scarcely out of uniform, while others carried the physical and mental scars of the war years. For the aging captain, Walter Hammond, it would prove a tour too far. The book follows the cricketing drama of both tours amid the political uncertainty of the time, with a Labour government struggling to disentangle Britain from its Empire. All-India and Down Under is the story of two dramatic cricket tours. All-Indias to England was its last before partition, while the MCCs trip to regain the Ashes saw the war-weary Englishmen struggle. In those early years of peace, the return of cricket was welcome, but the sombre backdrop was the end of Britains Empire.
