Sportshour: The Ashes at Edgbaston

Discussion & Talk

The Ashes at Edgbaston

BBC World Service - Sportshour, The Ashes at Edgbaston

Sportshour comes live from Edgbaston as the first Test of the Ashes is in full swing.

On this week's Sportshour we are live from Edgbaston as England and Australia battle it out in the first Ashes Test. 

We are joined by former England batsman Mark Ramprakash plus a host of guests to discuss their predictions on which way it will go.

We hear from Barney Douglas who has directed a new cricket film called "The Edge". It takes us inside the England dressing-room before, during and after the team's dramatic rise to No.1 in the world Test rankings in 2011.

Plus, a trip to Rome for an important cricket match for a different reason. We hear all about a crunch match between two rather unusual rivals: the Church of England sent the Archbishop of Canterbury's XI to Rome, to play a team from the Vatican. 

And Australian cricket star turned Rugby League Challenge Cup winner, Courtney Hill, gives her score predictions for the Ashes and tells us where her affiliations now lie.
