About this listen
What is an Ashes moment, really? Why do grown men howl like rapid dogs over a ball that lands on a crack? And how did a couple of colonial summer sports turn into one of the world’s most unhinged rivalries? This week, The Betoota Advocate sits down with one of cricket’s most respected storytellers, Peter Lalor, to unpack the triumphs, meltdowns and outright fever dreams that have defined Australia v England, from Thommo rearranging David Lloyd’s tackle, to Scott Boland becoming a deity at the MCG. Join Betoota Talks as Clancy Overell and Errol Parker dig beneath the polite veneer of “Test cricket tradition” and explore the cultural fault lines, national insecurities and generational scars that make the Ashes what they are. A simmering, century-old grudge match wrapped in whites, sunscreen and mild sporting trauma.
