The Trent Bridge Test of 2005 was the first time England had taken a significant lead in the Ashes for 18 years. It was only achieved in a tense finale in fading light by two players - Ashley Giles and Matthew Hoggard - not renowned for their batting. They managed to collect the final 13 runs for victory with Shane Warne wreaking havoc, only two nervous batters left in the pavilion and the nation holding their collective breath. Simon Hughes and Simon Mann tell the tale of a dramatic match which featured a buccanneering century by Freddie Flintoff, England making Australia follow on for the first time in a generation and Ricky Ponting run out by the substitute Gary Pratt. With contributions from Flintoff, Michael Vaughan, Simon Jones, Adam Gilchrist, Andrew Strauss and Ashley Giles. #ashes #cricket #englandcricket #australia Learn more about your ad choices.

The dramatic tale of the third Ashes Test of 2005, told through the players eyes - featuring Michael Vaughan, Freddie Flintoff, Andrew Strauss, Simon Jones, Glenn McGrath, Justin Langer and Adam Gilchrist. A gripping, tense encounter which built to such a climax that the Old Trafford ground was full by 9am on the fifth day with 20,000 people locked out. And despite England's brilliant efforts with bat (Vaughan and Strauss) and ball (Flintoff and especially Jones with some sensational deliveries ) they could not quite break Australia's resolve. In perhaps his finest innings, Ricky Ponting resisted England for six hours on the final day until dismissed, ninth out with four overs to go. But Australia's last pair of Brett Lee and McGrath held out to keep the series score poised at 1-1 with two to play.

The former England cricket player's life was changed dramatically in December 2022 when the car he was driving flipped and he sustained serious injuries to his face and ribs. Flintoff details his story of survival in his new book ‘Coming Home: The Moments That Made Me' - and joins Piers Morgan to open up about how he thinks the sport that made him may have saved his life, his friendship with the late Ricky Hatton, whose death today was ruled as a suicide and more.

As the SNP annual conference looms large on the horizon an air of pessimism seems to be permeating even the most committed supporters of independence. Not about the movement but the performance of the Scottish government and the internal operations of the party.The latest Holyrood opinion polls still suggest that the SNP will be the largest party post 2026 but that Labour could be in the position of cobbling together a Unionist governmental coalition of some sort.Stephen Flynn has been talking about the essence of a team approach. Has the SNP been a team? Why have  innovative ideas from both withing and outwith the closed leadership ranks fallen on deaf ears?We explore what might lie behind this malaise and what can be done to combat it.Part of the fightback might be to focus on Sir Keir Starmer and Rachel Reeves austerity measures particularly the means testing of the winter fuel allowance and the 10% rise in consumer electricity and gas prices. Could "It's Scotland's Energy" be the new "It's Scotland's Oil" battle cry?The usual suspects have been making political hay over the scrapping of the rail fares peak reduction pilot scheme, the axing of Creative Scotland's open fund, and the shifting of local authority monies allocated for improving nature and improving biodiversity to pay for council employees' pay rises.What is the Scottish government not telling us about what seems to be a black economic cloud emanating from Westminster?Lesley focuses on what might be behind the "failure" of the rail fares pilot and asks why no progress has been made on regional integrated transport systems.There's a whole host of great events coming up.

Alison Mitchell, Jim Maxwell and Charu Sharma debate who should be India's wicketkeeper for the Men's T20 World Cup in the Caribbean and America. India have potentially seven options who could take the gloves. Rishabh Pant is the frontrunner after having a stellar season so far in the Indian Premier League for the Delhi Capitals, but he has not played for India since being involved in a car accident in December 2022, where he injured his knee. Other names to consider are KL Rahul, Sanju Samson and Dinesh Karthik.   Plus, we speak to Adelaide Oval Head Curator Damian Hough who has been tasked with creating the pitches that will be used in America at the World Cup including the highly anticipated match between India and Pakistan.

After all the fun and festivities of last week's 400th episodes, we are back with a regular show this week, and the "better late than never" return of the elusive Bex (aka TristaBytes) to the show, to chat TV, film, games... and a disturbing amount of Barbie...Bex has been off doing her other job, presenting on stages around the UK, along with travelling to GamesCon in Germany, so we discuss her recent events... Along with catching Covid, which gave her some time to catch up on TV, which includes reviewing Netflix series 'Mask Girl', and displaying a, frankly, disturbing amount of knowledge on the history of 'Barbie'! Meanwhile, I review the 'Interview With The Vampire' series, which recently landed on iPlayer, and 'Rick and Morty' Season 7 which has returned in the UK on E4 and Channel 4 streaming.Moving onto the news, we begin with all the renews, cancellations and pick-ups this week. We then chat about Freddie Flintoff's payoff from 'Top Gear', 'Star Trek: Prodigy' getting saved by Netflix, a possible 'Seinfeld' return, a huge amount of 'Doctor Who' landing on iPlayer, a possible 'Suits' spin-off, and the problems with 'Daredevil: Born Again'.

Two highly successful captains of village cricket teams, Tom Greaves of Reed, Hertfordshire, and Callum Widdows of Horningsham, Wiltshire, are the latest guests of Peter Oborne and Richard Heller in their latest cricket-themed podcast. They share the problems and triumphs of making cricket thrive in local communities – where it belongs.Both were raised in the villages they now captain, but had little exposure to cricket in primary school. At around 12 years old each was inspired by watching the thrilling Ashes series of 2005 on free-to-air television. It led Callum into long practice sessions in his garden trying to imitate Freddie Flintoff, and then into seeking out the under-13 squad in the nearby town of Warminster. After an initially unpromising reception from the coach, this would give him his first experience of captaincy.Cricket had had little appeal for Tom and his younger brother: they thought it a game for posh people. They were golfing tearaways (literally) carving divots from the lovingly tended Reed cricket pitch when practising their golf shots. One happy day the groundsman marched them into the nets and made them practise with bat and ball instead. They were converted to cricket, and the following summer alternated long net sessions with a dash home to watch the 2005 Ashes.

A right royal welcome to a, slightly shorter, Chris Moyles Show on Radio X Podcast, thanks to the Jubilee Weekend. We may have only had 3 days on air, but we still had a lot of fun! As part of the weekend round-up, Chris and the team heard Nadine Dorris and Andrew Neils attempts at rapping. Big CRINGE alert! We learnt about James' reason for missing the huge gig that is Liam Gallagher at Knebworth this week. Speaking of, we gave out the last tickets available to listeners of the show this week, although one winner didn't quite realise it was Chris calling him back when he answered. Paddy McGuinness, Freddie Flintoff and Chris Harris also joined for a chat ahead of the new Top Gear series, before some drama with Jubilee limited edition wine. Dom also had a bit of trouble naming the software used to make presentations with slides of pictures on. Any guesses? But that's not all…. - "Alan Partridge" Makes His Way Into Our Knebworth Competition - Doms Nudist Holiday Considerations - We Make Our Final Decisions On Our Flags For Glastonbury Festival Enjoy!
