Haigh's Ashes 2005 was a great read - the day by day dissections of each test less so than the summations of the matches and the tangential articles (after reading the excellent summation of each test, reading five separate articles giving the blow by blow each day was a bit redundant, although I know that was in fact the premise of the book.
Archie, if you're Canberra based, and you haven't already done so, do yourself a favour and check out Canty's Second Hand books in fyshwick - they've got the biggest selection of cricket books I've seen in one place, and not just the recent releases. A surprising amount of people decided they wanted to trade in Mike Whitney's books though!

No Max Walker tho...
