Thanks very much,
I listened to it in the car last year. It was just as fantastic listening on the radio, sometimes better.

Paine's joke captaincy is the only winner in this farce. The english still lost the ashes
Failed to regain them. Subtle difference, but it was a drawn series. England didn't lose it.

Not for one moment did I expect Leach to let the side down. I was at Taunton in May 2016 when he and Tim Groenewald had done much the same, coming together as the last pair, with 31 still needed to beat Surrey. The evening sun shone, the crowd was big and buzzing, with every single raucously applauded. Leach knew exactly what to do.
Summers turn on days like this, when events unfold quickly and heroes emerge without much recent evidence they will. So it was for Somerset on a bewitching day in Taunton, as Nos. 10 and 11, Jack Leach and Tim Groenewald, eked out the 31 runs they required for an outright victory that felt close to impossible 24 hours ago.
Groenwald cover drove the winning runs after he and Leach had nervelessly played out 11 dot balls with just one required - the composure as memorable as the celebrations that followed the final stroke.

Somerset captain Chris Rogers, on that last wicket partnership in 2016:
"I'm so proud of the guys at the end who were under so much pressure. That would have been about as hard as it gets for them in their whole career. To step up and win us the game, that says volumes about their character."
