Whilst 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\n\n\u003cp\u003eAt 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\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 this 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\n\n\u003cp\u003eWith the help of the candid diaries he kept at the time, \u003ci\u003eThe Ashes Files\u003c\/i\u003e 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\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hachette Aotearoa New Zealand","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46735622963436,"sku":"9781399637961","price":39.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781399637961.jpg?v=1755257968","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/products\/the-ashes-files-by-steven-finn-9781399637961","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
