1981 Ridiculous Ashes - Third Test
Alex and Dan are off to Headingley for the third Test, an unremarkable match that has mostly been forgotten by all but the most obsessive of cricket fans.

Customer Reviews
Excellent
As someone who was 15 years old during the series, I can say that this podcast really captures the sheer ridiculousness of much that happened in a memorable summer. Thanks
I can’t spake
It’s the best podcast in the world. Never mind anybody else. I can’t spake.
The World Needs Ridiculousness Of This Kind Now
Seriously ridiculous, this podcast by two seasoned cricketing whimsysists is exactly what the world needs right now. One in England and one in Australia, I think we can safely assume that they are asufficiently socially-distanced team, which is also important at the moment. Hindsight corner is worth the price of admission alone...although there is no price of admission, which makes my comment, like many of the bants within this podcast & the podcast itself, ridiculously cheap.
