Publisher's Synopsis
The second half of the once-in-a-lifetime Double Ashes Series unfolds day by day via the quirky and insightful pen of The 17th Man, the last player picked in the Australian cricket squad. England started bristling with confidence, but it soon evaporated in the heat of the WACA sun, as Australia secured The Ashes and then steam-rolled England 5-0. All the triumph and controversy is here - departures and debuts, drop-bears and drop-ins, runs and runaways, petulance, performers and pretenders wedged between the odd sledge, broken bats, and a bucket of celebration, capped by hilarious commentary from the Tests in Tweets. Relive it all in The 17th Man's 'Summer of Shove', the sister volume to 'Summer of the 17th Man, England 2013'.
