The Most Ridiculous Ashes Captains
The triumphant (?) return of the Ridiculous Ashes podcast
We’re back!
Fresh off having written a book (The 50 Most Ridiculous Ashes Moments (of the past 50 years)) with podcast co-host and book co-author, Alex Bowden, of King Cricket fame, here’s a glimpse of what we’ve learned in the process. It’s the most ridiculous Ashes captains of the last half-century (alas, mostly the men. Ladies, lift your ridiculous game!)
In this one-off episode, we discuss asterisked ridiculousness density, our disdain for weak T, and the platonic ideal of Australian Ashes captaincy.
Plus, we reveal which Ridiculous Ashes series we’re covering next, AND we offer our predictions on the likely ridiculous superstars of the 2025/26 series! A blockbuster episode! Celebrate it by pre-ordering our book. (There will be much more on the book over the next few weeks!)
Pre-order the book here: https://liebcricket.com/ridiculousashes/
And if you do intend to buy the book - and why wouldn’t you? - please do so via pre-order. It is immensely helpful.
