The miracle of Headingley (2019)

Stumped

Available for over a year

Alison Mitchell, Jim Maxwell and Charu Sharma discuss arguably one of the greatest days in Test match history. We hear from England bowler Chris Woakes who tells us what it was like in the dressing room when Ben Stokes hit the winning runs and their celebratory trip to Mcdonalds afterwards. Former England Captain David Gower compares the emotion of watching the match as a commentator to when he played in a similar Test Match in 1981 at Headingley. Finally we look at where it went wrong for Australia and what we can expect for the rest of the Ashes series going forward.
