WHAT WE COVER:

🏏 Player Ratings - Who gets an A+? Starc, Head and Carey lead the way, plus huge praise for Scott Boland and Michael Neser's tireless efforts.

🌟 Jacob Bethell's Arrival - The 22-year-old's 154 in Sydney was his maiden Test AND first-class century. Is he the future of England cricket?

🔥 Beau Webster's Emergence - Off-spin, batting, brilliant fielding. Is he Australia's most complete all-rounder?

Stuart Broad drops in from his Sydney hotel room to chat with Haydos, James & Blewie ahead of the Sydney Ashes Test.

There's Long Room bedlam, Bairstow run-out fallout, six sixes in an over, and why that humiliation actually built his career.

Plus, Broady's take on Australia’s Test pitches, England’s missed opportunity, and what this Ashes has revealed about modern batting, moments, and pressure.

Melbourne was over before it started. The Boxing Day Test wrapped inside two days and the MCG pitch has been torched by everyone, including the captains.

JB, Haydos and Blewie unpack what went wrong, what it’s cost Cricket Australia, and why Australia keeps gambling with its biggest event.

They dig into the bigger problem, why Australian pitches (and Shield decks) are getting greener, what that’s doing to batting and spin development, and why “good cricketers come from good surfaces.”

Plus Australia’s batting concerns (Green, Weatherald, Marnus), what the Cummins/Hazlewood absence really changes, England’s deserved win, Bethell’s youth injection, Atkinson getting it right, a quick BBL hit, and Radar: Tim Tam temptations, Scotch Finger carnage, and the Bradman vs Warne Ashes ranking that broke JB’s brain.

It's everything Ashes as we look back at Haydos and Blewie's Best England Ashes XI of their era.

From Cook’s durability to Botham’s myth. From Anderson’s longevity to Flintoff’s force. From Boycott to Broad.

This isn’t polite admiration. It’s elite opposition being assessed by the blokes who had to beat them with brutal honesty, hard numbers, and the occasional psychological scar.

Ashes rivalry, properly examined.

A golden-era argument for the ages.

Matthew Hayden and Greg Blewett lock horns over the ultimate Best Australian Ashes XI of their era.

From Steve Waugh’s ruthless leadership to Gilchrist’s game-breaking chaos. From Warne’s dominance to Johnson’s intimidation. From Hussey’s reliability to the Waugh twins’ class.

If you love Ashes cricket when it was hard, hostile, funny, and uncompromising, this one’s for you.

*We apologies for the quality of Haydos Mic for the first few minutes

“They’ve lost the Ashes in 11 days.”

Australia wrap the Ashes in 11 days: 3–0, done. From Adelaide’s South Aussie dream sequence to the brutal reality for England’s top order, JB, Haydos and Blewie pull apart what’s actually happened and why.

Nathan Lyon’s hamstring tear and what it means for Melbourne

Murphy vs Rocchiccioli vs Kuhnemann

Boland in the mix,

Usman/Green squeeze as Australia start thinking beyond this series.

Plus: Snicko copping a public flogging, Barmy Army earning respect, and a couple of commentary-box misdemeanours that should come with a hazmat label.

It's a massive ep!

“Warne would always put his hand out to the runners and say, ‘Hi, I’m Shane Warne.’ That tells you a lot. He never assumed anyone knew who he was.— Michael Atherton

Michael Atherton joins James Brayshaw, Matthew Hayden and Greg Blewett with England 2–0 down and under the pump.

• How he’s seen the first two Tests and where it has really gone wrong
• The truth about “Bazball” (and why the players never actually call it that)
• Whether Stokes and McCullum need to rein things in, or double down
• Jofra Archer’s pace, consistency and the criticism from Anderson, Broad and the Aussies
• Facing Glenn McGrath 19 times and knowing he “had my number”
• His affection for Shane Warne the broadcaster and bloke and the shock of his passing
• How he sees Test cricket’s future in an IPL-dominated world

Smart cricket chat, proper honesty, and a few very good laughs with one of the game’s sharpest minds.

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.

Plus Heals’ infamous wine nights, muffin discipline in the commentary box, and Piers Morgan copping both barrels.
