“This is a great podcast for any Ashes cricket tragic. A novel and intriguing premise, backed up by strong research, and diligent and proper producing to ensure appearances of the subjects, as well as cricket luminaries such as Ian Chappell, Greg Chappell and David Gower; historians Stephen Chalke and Gideon Haigh, and family of Alan Igglesden
Its a very nice trip down memory lane to hear the stories of these players; not just of their one appearance in an Ashes test, but also of their cricketing careers, their upbringing, their perception of and reception by teammates and opponents, including Richie Benaud, Barry Richards, Gordon Greenidge, Mike Brearley, Ian Botham, Michael Atherton, Alan Border and Merv Hughes; the players post-cricketing careers as well
Production is high quality
Occasional narration is smooth and advances the story
Graham narrates very well with no vocal fry
Five stars!”
