Ben Stokes relives one of the most remarkable comeback performances in Test Match cricket history as we look back at Headingley, 2019.
In a new series, some of England and Australia's greatest players take us behind the scenes of the most memorable Ashes moments. In the opening episode, Jimmy Anderson tells the story of the dramatic Trent Bridge Test of 2013. He gives us his insight on Stuart Broad's refusal to walk, Ashton Agar's remarkable display with the bat, and taking back-to-back five wicket hauls.
The man England fans love to hate, David Warner, sits down with Isa Guha for an exclusive interview.
They talk about his legacy, his love of the Ashes, what it’s like when 20,000 England fans are booing you, and his battle against Stuart Broad.
It’s the 30th anniversary of Shane Warne’s iconic delivery to Mike Gatting in the 1993 Ashes series. In a special programme recorded in 2013, the late Warne joined Gatting along with Phil Tufnell, Michael Vaughan and host Mark Chapman to remember one of the most famous moments in Ashes history.
Jonathan Agnew is joined by the Grammy award winning music producer Giles Martin to share stories of working with the likes of Elton John and remixing the Beatles albums originally produced by his father Sir George Martin.
Cricketers Kate Cross and Alex Hartley are back again to reflect on a busy week. In another frank episode, Alex wants to tell the No Balls listeners something important.
The fourth episode of a new series where the BBC’s Chief cricket writer Stephan Shemilt discovers untold stories from the Ashes.
David Gower breathes rarefied air as a legend of English Ashes cricket. A four-time winner – twice down under – Gower has played more Tests for England against Australia, 42, than all but Colin Cowdrey. Only the great Jack Hobbs made more runs for England against the Aussies than Gower’s 3,269. As captain in 1985, Gower led England to a 3-1 series win whilst making 732 runs in the process. Little did Gower, or anyone, know that 1985 was to be the last time England won a home Ashes series for 20 years, a desolate run that began when he was put back in charge for what turned out to be a calamitous 1989 contest involving a famous press conference, News at 10, a rebel tour and a large wine bill.
The final episode in the series where the BBC’s Chief Cricket writer Stephan Shemilt discovers untold stories from the Ashes.
Few have experienced more of England’s modern Ashes history than Alastair Cook.
During a 12-year international career, Cook played every one of a possible 35 Ashes Tests, scoring more runs than any player on either side. Only Archie MacLaren, at the beginning of the last century, led England in more Ashes Tests than Cook’s 15 as skipper.
Cook was player of the series in a win down under, but was also captain when an England team fell apart in a 5-0 hammering. We find out why he wrestled Graeme Swann in the dressing room at The Oval and why he was reduced to tears after scoring what turned out to be his final Ashes hundred.
