5. Merv Hughes: Why England won't win the Ashes

While Bill is back in England, Ian is in Australia for the Ashes and is joined alongside his old rival and great friend Merv Hughes. From spotting the early signs of a superstar in Shane Warne to tales from some classic series in the 80's and 90's, Merv lifts the lid on why he thinks England won't win the Ashes this year and Beefy pleads with England to review their preparations. Plus 'don't mention the fishing trip'. Bill does... And Merv reveals all about the moment Beefy was nearly fed to the sharks!
