About this episode
Season 1, Ep 4: The 2015 Ashes came to a close, after a series of batting collapses and bowling blowouts. Australia out for 60 in Nottingham and 136 in Birmingham, England out for 103 at Lord's - no Test was competitive, even if a 3-2 scoreline looked it. 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 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.
