Whille he made over 120 appearances for his country, taking over 250 wickets, it was his battles with Australia that defined his career.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAged 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 1980s - and went on to be part of three Ashes winning sides. But there was a darker side to his career.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn 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 that it wouldn't be the end of his England career though; after fighting to overcome his demons and regain his place in the side, he played a key role as England regained the urn in 2015.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith the help of the candid diaries he kept at the time, The Ashes Files is a raw and eye-opening look at life as an elite international cricketer. It's a story of elation and pain, hitting rock bottom and battling back, and what it's really like to go to war with England's oldest foe.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"East Gate Bookshop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56049471324546,"sku":"9781399637794","price":25.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0618\/4442\/2862\/files\/9781399637794.jpg?v=1766854009","url":"https:\/\/shop.eastgatebookshop.co.uk\/products\/9781399637794","provider":"The East Gate Bookshop Online","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
