Ashes Podcast: Mrs Agar

When young bowler Ashton Agar was presented his cap by Glenn McGrath ahead of the test here at Trent Bridge, the resounding question around many was ‘Who?’.

The 19-year-old then made quite the statement, sending records tumbling after scoring 98 from number 11.

Trent Bridge united in supporting the young man on his final shot, which was caught by Swann, and he received a rousing reception, leaving the field two shy of a century and an instant hero.

There will have been no prouder individual in the ground than Sonia Agar, his mum.
