In today’s episode we break down the key moments so far from the Ashes Test in Adelaide — a match shaped by control, class batting, disciplined bowling and Australia steadily tightening their grip.

We get into:

• Usman Khawaja’s 82 • Alex Carey’s home-ground 106 and how it shifted the game • The around-the-wicket inswing plan • Archers class spell (5–54) • Australia adding 50 crucial morning runs and stretching England at the perfect time

Then we look at the bowling story — Cummins’ control (3–54), Boland’s relentless areas, and Nathan Lyon overtaking McGrath to move into second on Australia’s all-time Test wicket list. We also unpack Pope vs Lyon and what England’s technical battle looks like moving forward.

In a previous episode, we selected the greatest-ever Test bowling attacks from two iconic cricketing nations. South Africa and Australia! Now, it’s time to put those attacks to the test.

In this episode, we simulate a head-to-head clash in India, breaking down who would actually come out on top when conditions, pressure, and numbers really matter.

We dive deep into the data — comparing combined bowling averages, strike rates, economy rates, and total wickets— before layering in context around Indian pitches, match situations, and how these attacks would function as a unit.

This isn’t about nostalgia. It’s about evidence, balance, and suitability.

So which legendary attack takes 20 wickets in India? Who controls the game across five days? And which bowlers become the real difference makers?

A proper cricket debate — backed by numbers, experience, and a bit of imagination.

Australia have taken the 2nd Test in Brisbane with a convincing display across four days — disciplined batting, sharper execution, and the big moments falling their way when it mattered. England showed real promise at times… but dropped chances and missed opportunities ultimately told the story of the match.

In today’s episode we break down:

• How Australia controlled the game and closed it out • Stokes talks about pressure in key moments • Where England over-prepared? • What England must fix before the next Test

We’ll also look ahead to the series picture — what changes could be coming, who stands up next, and whether England can hit back from here.
