Today's ep talks about the 2025-26 #Ashes! (kind of)

Steve Smith asking for Carse to turn his sunglasses around, Crawley to turn his collar down and Bethell to grow a dreamy goatee. #Ashes 🏏

Looking forward to “The Black Test” where everyone must wear the colour least distracting for Steve Smith. #Ashes 🏏

Don’t take away Stokes’s cap! He’s already at massive sun risk. #Ashes 🏏

My brother has just arrived at the MCG for Day Three, wondering where the game is. These other guys he bumped into are similarly confused. #Ashes 🏏

Unlucky for Root. The one Richardson delivery that wasn’t a no ball. #Ashes 🏏

Five days should be enough to play the men's and women's Tests back to back.
Can we please have the women play the Boxing Day Test next year? #Ashes 🏏

The men are demonstrating by revealed preference that the women’s Ashes format (five day, ODI and t20) is the superior #Ashes

At most grounds, 12th man brings out drinks at any break in play.
In Melbourne they bring out pullovers. #Ashes 🏏

Surely if they were able to so effortlessly swap out Queen for King in the England national anthem, they could just as easily do something about that ‘victorious’ bit. #Ashes 🏏
