Episode Notes
England's Ashes tour goes from bad to worse after being thumped in the second Test at the Gabba.
Join Jake, Nick and Will as they reflect on how the big defeat unfolded and ask if Ben Stokes and Brendon McCullum can turn the tour around from 2-0 down.
We also unpack some interesting comments from the pair after Stokes said there is no place for 'weak men' in his dressing room and McCullum claimed England overtrained coming into the match.
There is concern over the performance of Jamie Smith and Ollie Pope, in particular. The guys discuss whether changes are needed.
On the positive side, there was a first century on Australian soil for Joe Root.
