'Stiff Upper Lips and Baggy Green Caps' is an Ashes history with a difference -- it is as interested in the colourful and more controversial aspects of Anglo-Australian rivalry as it is in displays of cricketing prowess. Embedded in Simon Briggs's vivid and entertaining narratives are profiles of confrontational cricketers, stories of the most notorious episodes in Ashes history and more than 150 of the best Ashes insults.
