Claire
fell for Bill Hudson when she was just five years old. First they were best

since, Claire has devoted her life to her daughter Georgia. But what teenage
Georgia needs now Claire just can’t give her — advice on boys. There’s

Keith Fletcher’s career began and ended with the Ashes and — as
the first cricketer to both captain and coach England — he’s better placed
than anybody to provide a frank assessment of the past, present and future of
the game, particularly in light of England’s stunning 2005 Ashes victory. In
this fully updated edition of Ashes to Ashes Fletcher looks at the key
figures in English cricket — from Ray Illingworth to Michael Vaughan — and
discusses their strengths, weaknesses and contributions to the game. He
explains the emergence of brilliant Australian players like Shane Warne and
Glenn McGrath and assesses how England have managed to close the gap on their
great rivals. Fletcher also offers fresh insights into many high-profile
controversies — from the rebel tour of South Africa, to Mike Atherton’s
alleged ball-tampering and his own treatment as England coach. After a
lifetime in the ups and downs of the game Ashes To Ashes explains why
Keith Fletcher has retained his passion for cricket any how England has the
potential to retain their supremacy over Australia.

proletariat and democracy. As history is being made in Nepal, Prakash A. Raj
takes a look at the main actors on the country’s political stage — the
monarch, the political parties, the Maoists, the international community —
and analyses what happened in Nepal and why.
