    We're back! Fresh off having written a book (The 50 Most Ridiculous Ashes Moments (of the past 50 years)), here's a glimpse of what we've learned in the process. It's the most ridiculous Ashes captains of the last half-century (alas, mostly the men. Ladies, lift your ridiculous game!) In this one-off episode, we discuss asterisked ridiculousness density, our disdain for weak T, and the platonic ideal of Australian Ashes captaincy. Plus, we reveal which Ridiculous Ashes series we're covering next, AND we offer our predictions on the likely ridiculous superstars of the 2025/26 series! A blockbuster episode! Celebrate it by pre-ordering our book. Pre-order the book here: https://liebcricket.com/ridiculousashes/ Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
