Event Description
On the eve of the 2025 Ashes cricket series, hear ex-cricketer Barry Nicholls talking about his book Playing to Win.
The book captures the story of the 1972 Ashes series in England which transformed Test cricket.
Lead by Ian Chappell and his team, it was a series that shaped the modern game, as they were 'playing to win.'
This was the early days of the legendary partnership between Lillee and Marsh.
Few partnerships between wicket keeper and fast bowler have had such a profound impact on the game.
Barry is a journalist, author and ABC radio personality who has written about cricket for decades.
For anyone interested in the history of Test cricket.
