England arrive in Adelaide facing a must-win Test, but the odds are stacked. Australia have lost just once in their last 11 Tests, and only one team in the 149-year history of Test cricket has ever come back from 2–0 down.

Brendon McCullum backs continuity, rejecting “knee-jerk” selection calls. Bashir and Tongue remain in the frame, with Ed noting Bashir could be “more effective on day one in Adelaide than at any other point in the series.” The batting order looks locked in, but Ed warns it’s “a hard bet that it just turns around.”

Corbin’s been doing the c...

The Bazballers have been re-charging in Noosa and the series is on the line in Adelaide. What levers can Brendon McCullum and Ben Stokes pull to keep the tourists alive in the Ashes? Usman Khawaja is available for selection. Will he find a place in the middle order? Pat Cummins and Nathan Lyon loom as inclusions, who will be discarded in their place? And what made Ed Cowan "spew in my mouth"? Ed and Corbin Middlemas address these issues as well as the BBL and WBBL. PLUS, your questions answered in the listener mailbag.

While Australia sit 2-0 up in the series, the guys dig into whether England have fallen into an “exaggerated sense of their own ability” as they enjoy their “reset in Noosa” ahead of the third test.

It took Stokes and Jacks finally “playing properly” on the last day for England to show any real fight, and Corbin and Ed explore whether that flicker of resistance tells us anything or simply exposes a team that is, in Ed’s words, “just not very good”.

Selection changes feel inevitable for England, with Archer’s effort labelled “a pathetic test”, Jacks...

2-0 after two Tests. A commanding performance delivers a clinical win. Neser top five wickets, Smith took a screamer, Stokes was brave but couldn't hold back Australia.

Usman Khawaja has unloaded on the Perth pitch. How justified is the spicy criticism and how much is reputation management? The opener is racing to be fit, but the conversation has centred on whether Travis Head should open.
