Episode Notes

Matthew Hayden joins Adam Peacock and Brad Haddin to look at England’s missed opportunity in the recent Ashes. Was Stuart Broad right when he said this was the worst Australian team? Where to now for Bazball? Haydos also talks about some of the players he thinks could do well in the coming years in the Baggy Green. Plus, he runs us through the best XI he ever played against, including some great yarns about legends like Lara, Sachin, Kallis, Akram, Murali and more!
