Travel around the world in the company of some of cricket's most notable personalities, from Australia to Trinidad and the Antarctic to Cambodia, as they witness both triumph and disaster during the game's unpredictable adventures abroad. We join a cricket match in a Japanese POW camp, we are with Don Bradman as England's bowlers adopt the 'fast leg theory' of bowling and we celebrate Garfield Sobers as he surpasses Hutton's record test innings, and then there is the English wicket-keeper who gets arrested in Australia.

Cricket's legends play again as we join WG Grace, Jack Hobbs, Denis Compton, Geoffrey Boycott and other great cricketers. We relive Len Hutton's 13-hour stand against Australia in the summer of '38, marvel at Ian Botham's 1981 tour de force at Old Trafford, accompany Ted Dexter as he stands for Parliament and join Wilfred Rhodes, aged 49, taking 6 wickets for 79 as he saves England from defeat in 1926.

The Ashes series of 1954–55 marked a watershed moment in the history of English cricket. Under the leadership of Len Hutton, the national team’s first professional captain, one of the greatest group of players ever to represent England won an Ashes series in Australia for the first time in more than 20 years. It is a feat that has been repeated only four times in more than 70 years since. But Hutton’s men had to overcome the additional obstacle of losing heavily in the first Test – only one England team has managed to win an overseas Ashes series after such a monumental setback.
