Episode Synopsis

Welcome to another episode of Readings from the Pavilion End, where Bill is joined by the (now-familiar) Akshobh Giridharadas dive into the stunning fifth test of the India-England series at the Oval. It was a tensed finale with England chasing 35 runs and India needing four wickets. 
This episode discusses historical parallels (Chris Woakes' brave return after a shoulder injury calls to mind cricketing legends like Colin Cowdrey and Nathan Lyon), iconic test matches, and the unforgettable performances of players who defied the odds. 
We also touch on speculation for the upcoming Ashes, considering England and Australia's readiness for the epic showdown. Whether you're a cricket history buff or an Ashes series enthusiast, this episode offers discussions on memorable cricket events, sportsmanship, and the undying cricket spirit.
