Episode Details

England captain Heather Knight described the Women’s Ashes as the best women’s series in the history of women’s cricket. And in the first of our three podcasts on the Ashes 2023 I was joined by former England Test centurion Kathryn Leng and German international all-rounder Tina Gough to review all the action during this exciting multi format women’s’ Ashes.

Kathryn and Tina, well known to listeners of ‘The Paddock and The Pavilion’ look back at the action which began with a 5-day Test match at Trent Bridge, where England opening batsman Tammy Beaumont broke an 89-year record with a brilliant 208 and ended with the World’s best woman batter Nat Sciver Brunt scoring 129 to secure England victory at Taunton.

Final points score of 8-8 led to the Aussies retaining the Ashes. Was that fair? Did our two pundits agree with the points system? Should there be more Test matches? What were the reasons for the England fightback after being 6-0 down? Who was their player of the series?

Find out their views on these topics and much more along with questions from some of our listeners.
