Ashley Giles joins you and Adam Peacock for a special edition of English Willow Talk. Giles shares some of his best memories from the 2005 Ashes series, why he was labelled “The King of Spain,” his battles facing Murali and Warne, bowling against and dismissing Brian Lara and Sachin Tendulkar, Steve Harmison breaking his arm, and what it was like in the 2005 English dressing room.

Plus, we look at some of the challenges Ashley Giles faced in and around the game, with mental health battles and when Brett Lee was bowling so fast it felt like he was “trying to kill him,” and we preview the upcoming 2025/26 Ashes series.

Brad Haddin joins you and Adam Peacock to look at Australia’s T20 win over South Africa. We discuss Tim David’s striking masterclass, Maxwell’s consistent catching, Hazlewood’s overachieving with the white ball, and one of the greatest crowd catches cricket has ever seen. Heals is back playing cricket and has some handy runs under her belt in the Australia A series. We’re 15 weeks out from the Ashes, and we’ll be spotlighting a player each week. This week, Harry Brook is under the lights - just how important is Brook to this English side?

We wrap up with some cricket “would you rather” questions: would Hadds choose the ’05 bowling attack or the current Australian one?
