Here are Cobden’s hat-trick at Lords in 1870, batting with W.G. Grace in the 1890s, Fred Tate and Jessop’s tests of 1902 and the controversial incidents of the 1932/3 Bodyline tour, all relived by the players in the middle - C.B. Fry, Hirst and Rhodes, Hobbs and Sutcliffe, Larwood and Bradman. The players themselves give their own accounts of the classic matches they’ve played in and recall the great figures of the Golden Age.
