The Final Word Cricket Podcast
Sports:Cricket
Season 1, Ep 4: Reloading lost episodes from the early Final Word. The 2015 Ashes came to a close, after a series of batting collapses and occasional bowling blowouts. Australia out for 60 in Nottingham, out for 136 in Birmingham, England out for 103 at Lord's - no Test was competitive, even if a 3-2 scoreline looked that way. After a final belting of England by an innings at the Oval, Geoff and Adam got together in London with the BBC's Alison Mitchell and Cricinfo's Vithushan Ehantharajah to run the rule over the series, talk through best and worst moments, assess the departing Australian captain Michael Clarke, and ponder what might be next for his unproven young replacement Steven Smith.
This season was originally recorded for the ABC - this is the extended edition, restoring omitted material.
