With the 2019 Ridiculous Ashes already decided, Alex and Dan head to The Oval, where they must deal with such absurdities as a Mitchell Marsh five-fer, tricksy Jonny Bairstow wicketkeeping, and, yes, you guessed it, yet more nonsense from Steve Smith. #Ashes 🏏

To Old Trafford for the fourth Test, where Alex and Dan are blown away by the wind, bemused by Ben Stokes' celebrations and fed up with the relentless antics of Steve Smith. We are England Cricket. #Ashes 🏏

Much like 1981, we're once more to Headingley for a third Test, an unremarkable match mostly forgotten by all but the most obsessive of cricket fans. Despite this, we uncover moments of absurdity, including dreadful half-centuries, clumsy, pleading hands, and the many innings moods of Ben Stokes.

The Ridiculous Ashes podcast returns with the 2019 Ashes. First up, it’s Fortress Edgbaston, where Alex and Dan discuss nefarious handshake schemes, Moeen Ali's willingness to leave and the improbable rejection of a Steve Waugh game plan.

A special one-off podcast: The Most Ridiculous Ashes Captains, in which we discuss asterisked ridiculousness density, our disdain for weak T, and the platonic ideal of Australian Ashes captaincy. Plus: we reveal the next series we're covering! open.spotify.com/episode/0fkv...
