Australia are 2–0 up and the Gabba has given us proper Test drama. In this episode, JB, Haydos and Blewie unpack the fallout from Brisbane: Steve Smith’s icy response to Jofra Archer’s late bumpers, Travis Head’s continued chaos at the top, Alex Carey’s best match in the Baggy Green, and Mitch Starc putting together one of the great two-Test stretches. The boys discuss England’s putrid bowling and butter-fingered fielding, Ben Stokes finally batting like a proper Test captain, Michael Neser’s moment, and the selection squeeze heading into Adelaide with Cummins and Lyon returning.

Australia’s Ashes buildup goes into overdrive as the boys break down a chaotic week of selection debates: Renshaw v Weatherald, Green v Webster, who actually opens, and whether Nathan Lyon could seriously miss Perth. Hazelwood’s hamstring scare has everyone sweating, while Steve Smith returns from New York looking untouchable. Meanwhile, the Poms roll into town with the weakest prep we’ve seen in years. Jofra Archer barely bowling, no proper match practice, and a squad turning up with golf bags instead of overs. Plus, Bay 13's been handed to the Poms, Travis Head’s form question, Beth Mooney brilliance, sledging myths, and Big Doss unveils his truly disturbing oyster–tequila–hot sauce routine. A full Ashes temperature check as Perth looms and the heat is rising!
