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.

Plus: selection calls ahead of Adelaide, the nex...

Australia storm to a 2–0 Ashes lead after a dramatic Day 3 at the Gabba. Menners breaks down a dominant all-round performance: Michael Neser’s career-defining five-wicket haul, Steve Smith’s extraordinary match-turning slip catch, Alex Carey’s superb work behind the stumps, and England’s continued struggles under Bazball. From tense morning resistance by Stokes and Jacks to Smith launching the winning six, this episode captures the emotion, momentum swings, and tactical brilliance that delivered Australia a famous Test victory.

Australia put on a clinic in old-fashioned Test match domination on Day 3 at the Gabba. A patient, grinding batting display — led by Mitchell Starc’s superb 77 — pushed the total to 511 before the bowlers ripped through England under lights. Mental disintegration, tactical brilliance, and relentless pressure defined the day as England collapsed from 1/90 to 6/134, leaving Australia poised for a 2–0 Ashes lead.

Australia finished Day 2 of the Second Ashes Test in a strong position after racing to 6/378 from just 73 overs, taking a 44-run lead over England. Jake Weatherald set the tone with a vibrant maiden Test fifty, supported by contributions from Labuschagne, Smith, and Green — though none went on to a defining score. England’s wayward bowling and five dropped catches kept Australia surging ahead, while Alex Carey and Michael Neser’s unbeaten stand closed a dominant day. Despite the advantage, Australia missed a chance to fully bury England, leaving the match finely poised heading into Day 3.

England recover from early trouble to reach 9/325 on Day 1 of the Gabba day-night Test, driven by a superb unbeaten century from Joe Root (135*) and a relentless spell from Mitchell Starc (6/71). Australia’s selection calls (no Lyon, Cummins rested) and a dramatic final-hour stall become key storylines, while standout fielding moments and some self-inflicted English dismissals shape a seesawing day. The consensus: honours even, on a pitch that promises runs for those who bat well over the next two days.

The episode also reflects on Khawaja’s career, covers the latest domestic cricket headlines, and pays tribute to the late Robin Smith. Plus: strong opinions on Bazball, Ben Stokes, WBBL, IPL withdr...

Menners opens the Ashes Mailbag with breaking squad news as Pat Cummins’ fitness clouds the Second Test and Usman Khawaja’s place comes under serious scrutiny. Listener questions drive a wide-ranging episode: from Travis Head’s push to open and why Khawaja is running out of road, to English fan frustration after Perth and a brutal assessment of Bazball’s decision-making. The show also revisits Menners’ infamous 2023 Lord’s rant (and why it’s been re-released), reflects on Phil Hughes’ legacy, and tackles selection debates around Michael Neser, Matt Renshaw, and Mitch Marsh’s fading Test role. A candid, fiery, and deeply...

In this rapid-fire Ashes debrief, Menners is joined by journalist and author Tim Wigmore to unpack one of the most chaotic and unprecedented first Tests in Ashes history. They explore England’s collapse, Travis Head’s extraordinary fourth-innings burst, Mitchell Starc’s growing legacy as a great left-arm quick, and the rising scrutiny on Bazball after another high-profile stumble. The pair also look ahead to a pivotal pink-ball Test, discuss selection dilemmas for both sides, and assess the mood in England after a bruising start.

(1:54) – Why this was one of the strangest and most chaotic Ashes Tests ever

Australia’s furious two-day demolition of England in Perth leaves the Ashes opener as one of the most remarkable Tests in modern history. Menners breaks down the carnage: Travis Head’s breathtaking fourth-innings century, Mitchell Starc’s 10-wicket masterpiece, Scott Boland’s match-turning spell, and the tactical blunders that left Bazball shattered. He also digs into selection debates, Khawaja’s future, the rise of Head as a long-term opener, England’s refusal to play a pink-ball warm-up, and whether ultra-short Tests are good for the game. A fiery, emotional, and statistic-packed episode that captures the chaos and beauty of a historic A...

A wild second day in Perth ends with Australia stealing a famous victory after a staggering post-lunch collapse from England. Travis Head blasts a legendary 123 from 83 balls to chase down 205 at better than a run-a-ball, while Scott Boland and Mitchell Starc rip through England to flip the match on its head. Manners breaks down the turning points: Boland’s game-changing spell, Starc’s brilliance, England’s tactical meltdown, and what this all means for the rest of the Ashes. Plus, the Khawaja fitness saga, selection implications, and why this might be one of the most dramatic two-day Tests ever played...

A wild opening day of the Ashes in Perth saw 19 wickets fall as Mitchell Starc ripped through England with a sensational 7/58, rescuing Australia’s depleted attack and setting the stadium alight. England were skittled for 172, but Australia failed to capitalise, collapsing to 9/121 at stumps after a brutal examination from Wood, Archer and Stokes — who claimed 5/23. Menners recaps all the big turning points: Starc’s historic spell, England’s Bazball bursts, Australia’s top-order disaster, Usman Khawaja’s controversial absence, Scotty Boland’s tough outing, and the explosive atmosphere inside Perth Stadium.
