The Ashes is the hardest fought trophy in cricket, and probably one of the greatest rivalries in sport - England v Australia. During its history there have never been more ferocious Ashes contestants than Ian Botham, arguably the world's greatest ever all-rounder, and Allan Border, former Australian captain and hard man.

Now these two great rivals meet again as they go head to head in Ashes Clashes. Botham and Border were brought up on a diet of England v Australia matches, played a total of 83 Ashes test matches between 1976 and 1993, and have remained closely involved with the game since their retirements. As such they are perfectly placed to give their personal, and sometimes controversial, views of the last 35 years of Ashes cricket.

Ashes Clashes is a fast-paced, action-packed programme which features the very best of the last 35 years of Ashes test series both in England and in Australia - from the controversial 1970-71 tour of Australia when Lillee, Marsh and Greg Chappell made their debuts to the triumphant 2005 Ashes series when Michael Vaughan's England regained the Ashes after almost 16 years.
