Episode Notes

After a lengthy break, the second Ashes Test is nearly upon us!


Join Jake, Nick and Will as they look ahead to Brisbane where England have it all to do to level the series 1-1.


We discuss the form of England's batting line-up with Joe Root and Zak Crawley under scrutiny. We ask how much pressure is on the pair of them, albeit for different reasons, and if they should have taken part in a warm-up game in Canberra.


Root has also been questioning the need for a pink-ball Test in the Ashes. We discuss in detail the impact that will have on the second Test, how England will cope with it and in particular how they deal with Mitchell Starc.


Plus the minute monologue is back, delivered this time by Will. We field all your questions as usual too!
