Road To The Ashes EP4: England's Injury Blow & Mike Gatting On Warne's Ashes

They discuss England's 15-player squad for the only Test against Ireland, and discuss how big a blow Jofra Archer's injury will be for the England side. The former England captain Mike Gatting joins us to reflect on some of his finest Ashes memories, including winning in 1986/87, and facing *that* Ball of the Century against Shane Warne. They also hear from the Australia spinner Nathan Lyon, who believes a whitewash this summer is '100% possible'
