Few cricketers understand the rollercoaster of emotions that come with being part of an Ashes series quite like Steven Finn. Whilst he made over 120 appearances for his country, taking over 250 wickets, it was his battles with Australia that defined his career. Aged just 21, he played a key role in England’s historic 2010 Ashes win over their fiercest rivals – their first victory down under since the 80s – and went on to be part of three Ashes winning sides. But there was a darker side to his career. In 2014, Finn was sent home from Australia during the calamitous 5-0 series defeat after he lost his confidence and his bowling action fell apart. He was adamant this wouldn’t be the end of his England career though. ‘The Ashes Files’ is a raw and eye-opening look at life as an elite international cricketer.
