The week that Noosa entered cricket folklore
Season 19, Episode 14: The Ashes players keep on dropping, with Australia and England each losing a vital bowler for the rest of the Ashes, while a backup ball-striker in Mitch Marsh retires from first-class cricket. The England team though are hanging in Noosa, where some onlookers will find that being a prankster is not as easy as most participants think. Also this week, Emma John has landed in South Australia to begin her Ashes-linked trip around our country, and we'll be checking in with her adventures across our summer. Australia brings memories that last a lifetime.
