Episode Notes

Australia complete a dominant 4–1 Ashes victory, and Menners is joined by Jack Hope (The Cricket Podcast) for a wide-ranging post-series debrief. From the on-field demolition of Bazball to the off-field cultural questions surrounding England’s preparation, leadership, and discipline, this episode pulls no punches. The pair dig into the Harry Brook nightclub controversy, England’s shallow bowling depth, questionable planning, and whether McCullum and Stokes can survive another Ashes failure. There’s also praise for Australia’s tactical sharpness, Travis Head’s series-defining impact, and a look ahead to what both teams might look like by 2027.
