Merv Hughes joins Glenn McGrath, Jason Gillespie and Damien Fleming for a laugh-filled look back at his career — from raw Victorian quick to Ashes-winning enforcer. Expect sledging duels, legendary send-offs, dressing room pranks, and plenty of tall tales as the boys needle Merv about which stories have grown in the telling. A must-listen for fans of old-school fast bowling folklore. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
