Ep 204 - Kathryn Leng - Memories of The Ashes

In the final part of our ‘Memories of The Ashes series I was joined by former England Test centurion Kathryn Leng, who played four Ashes Test matches against Australia between 1998 and 2003. Young Rosa Simkin of ‘Rosa Talks Ball’ joins the show as my co-host. Kathryn a regular on The Paddock and The Pavilion talks passionately about Test cricket against the arch enemy which for her began at Guildford on 6 August 1998 in a high scoring draw where the Aussies scored 569/6. England’s tally of 414 was until the recent Test Match England’s highest score at Ashes level. Catch Kathryn’s memories of both a home and away Ashes series where she opened with a young Charlotte Edwards and came up against some of the legends of Australian cricket, Cathryn Fitzpatrick, Belinda Clark and Lisa Keightley. Following the recent international retirement by Katherine Brunt, Kathryn adds her own personal tribute to the legendary England fast bowler. This interview was recorded on 14 June.
