The Final Word: Vic Marks and how Australia won the Ashes – podcast

In the latest podcast, Geoff Lemon and Adam Collins chat to Vic Marks, the former England player and now Guardian and Observer cricket writer and broadcast journalist, in the aftermath of Australia’s Ashes victory in Perth.

Vic talks about his association with the Waca, and also of ‘hitting the digital hotspot’, an understandable fear of facing some West Indian fast bowlers, the strange end to his Test career and what happened for him next in the world of journalism.

After opening up on the life of Peter Roebuck, his former Somerset team-mate and one of his good friends, Marks bids farewell to leave Geoff and Adam to dissect the current series after Australia wrapped up victory with two Tests still to play.
