Episode Details

In the third part of our ‘Memories of The Ashes series I was joined by former England swing bowler of the 1980s Richard Ellison.

Richard only played two Ashes Test matches, both in 1985, but few players have ever made a bigger impact. Player of the Match in his Ashes debut at Edgbaston, Richard took 17 wickets in his two Test matches to help England win the Ashes. 

Capture the magic of his debut when Richard ripped through the Aussie batting line up. “I had 15 minutes in the sunshine,” said Richard.

Richard ended the podcast with an insightful look ahead to the 2023 series which is due to start on the 16 June at Edgbaston, the scene of Richard’s greatest Ashes memory.

This interview was recorded on 29 May

Parts 1 and 2 featured Rick McCosker and Dennis Amiss.
