About this episode

The first Test of the 2025 Ashes has gone to Australia, and it only took them two days to see off England in Perth!


Join Jake, Nick and Will as they react to a chaotic two days of cricket, which left England searching for answers.


They discuss how England threw away a golden opportunity from a winning position to suffer an eight-wicket defeat and who is to blame for the collapse.


Joe Root and Zak Crawley, in particular, had a match to forget. We ask what changes could be made to the batting line-up, if any, to prevent a repeat outcome in Brisbane in the second Test in just under two weeks.


And we field your questions, too, including plenty on the future of Rob Key, Brendon McCullum and Ben Stokes if England's Ashes tour continues to spiral out of control.
