Welcome back to Beard Before Wicket with Moeen Ali, Adil Rashid & Nubaid Haroon. England have lost another Ashes test and there are big questions to unpack. From Stokes’ “weak men” dressing room message to the mentality and selection struggles throughout the series, we dive into where things went wrong, what Stokes is trying to build, and whether England’s stubbornness with Bazball is now under serious strain. We break down the on-field moments, the off-field noise, and how Australia continue to get it right when it matters most.
