Episode Summary
It’s the day after Australia’s emphatic Ashes victory, and the mood is bright. Menners and Gav Joshi break down how Australia surged to a 2–0 lead with discipline, smarts and big moments—while England unravelled under pressure. They analyse Michael Neser’s dream Test, Alex Carey’s world-class keeping, Smith’s stunning catch, and the impact of Australia’s bold new batting lineup. The duo also dissect England’s poor preparation, internal tension between Stokes, McCullum and senior players, and the technical and mental failings that now have the tourists staring at a potential 5–0. Plus: selection calls ahead of Adelaide, the next steps for Cameron Green, and a thrilling WBBL finish to round out the day after the win.
