The Final Word with Gideon Haigh

Season 14, Episode 15: Ahead of his seventh tour to England, Gideon Haigh has been collecting his writings on the rivalry for a new book, On The Ashes. It's a good time to sit down in Melbourne with one of cricket's most respected thinkers and look over everything, from 1877 to today, and wonder where the game is going next.

Gideon's book is out on June 6: pre-orders are through Allen & Unwin here.
