Alec Stewart was appointed captain of his country in the spring of 1998 after yet another calamitous England cricket tour of the West Indies, a 3 - 1 series defeat resulting in Mike Atherton's surprise resignation after a record 52 Tests in charge. 'Taking over from him was the last thing on my mind,' said Stewart.
Within three months, the newly crowned captain was celebrating an historic Test series victory against South Africa and English cricket followers were looking forward in eager anticipation to the next confrontation, an Ashes series against the unofficial world champions of Test cricket, Australia. What would the winter of 1998/99 herald for a rejuvenated England team?
