Episode 13

1 July 2009

England v Australia is looming - we concentrate on the build-up to the npower Ashes Series, with Andrew Flintoff, Brett Lee, and more from both sides. Plus a fond farewell to the skipper from 2005 Ashes glory, Michael Vaughan.

And analysis from Ashes-winning skipper Mike Gatting, our resident Podcast expert.

Current England skipper Andrew Strauss pays his tribute to Vaughan, the best captain he says he's played under; as does Paul Collingwood.

The Podcast also catches up with Peter Siddle, who tells how he'll like to bowl this summer, and Monty Panesar, who might get a chance on a turning strip at Cardiff; plus off-spinning all-rounder Marcus North.

Alastair Cook confines 2005 to history as he focuses on what the team of 2009 has to do to regain the Ashes, as Simon Katich and Shane Watson do from the other side of the divide.

Kevin Pietersen hopes 2009 can live up to the excitement of his previous Ashes Series.... and we leave the last word to Andrew Flintoff, back in the side after injury and set to produce some compelling cricket against Australian rivals, old and new.
