Ahead of the second Ashes T20, Ashleigh Gardner - the most in-form player in the world - joined Laura and Emily on the Scoop Podcast in London to celebrate NAIDOC week happening back home in Australia, as well as her new record of best Test figures for an Australian woman.

 

Ash pays tribute to the late, great Faith Thomas who was the first Aboriginal person to play Test cricket for Australia, as well as explaining some of the work she's been doing with kids in Dubbo with the Ashleigh Gardner Foundation.

 

On the cricket front, Ash shares the messages she exchanged with Nathan Lyon ahead of Day Five at Trent Bridge, and her take on her evolution from part-time spinner to a genuine allrounder.
