All-India and Down Under is the story of two dramatic cricket tours. All-India’s to England was its last before partition, while the MCC’s 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 Britain’s Empire.
