About this listen

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.

If you enjoy the episode, it would mean the world if you left us a 5★ review and shared it with someone who loves their Ashes cricket as much as we do!

All the best, Wrighty & Barks @lifeofchriswright • @k13bkr • @thebowlersunion
