The Cricket Badger Ashes Podcast. In week one James. Olie and Aakash preview the 2019 Ashes series and make their predictions on the series to come and the 1st Test at Edgbaston.

James Buttler, the Cricket Badger, is joined by Cricket 365's Oli Fisher and cricket journalist Aakash Sivasubramaniam discuss the strengths and weaknesses of both sides and excitedly look forward to the biggest contest cricket can give us. There is a lot to discuss!

The trio will be back every week throughout the Ashes series to assess the action just gone, chew over the talking points and make their predictions on the week ahead.

In this first episode they pick their series winner, the top batsman and bowlers from both teams and who will be Man of the Series. If you listened to the World Cup Weekly Podcast you will know there is a competitive charitable element to these predictions. The winner at the end of the Ashes series will be able to make a donation to the charity of his choice.
