The Ashes Daily 2025, 3rd Test, Adelaide Day 0: We are down to England's last chance to stay in the series, and they've elected to take on Adelaide Oval and a 40-degree forecast without a specialist spinner. Are they secret geniuses? Meanwhile, for Australia, Usman Khawaja's career is now finished without injury intervention, as the XI continues without him, while Pat Cummins and Nathan Lyon come back.

Ben Stokes and Pat Cummins chat to TMS as we look ahead to England's must-win Test in Adelaide. Plus, we get the thoughts of Jonathan Agnew, Stephan Shemilt and Bharat Sundaresan.

Matthew Klein now knows the truth. The advent calendar was not some random antique that found its way to his doorstep by chance. It was built with purpose. Built with intent. Constructed from the charred remains of his childhood home — and from the cursed spirit board that destroyed his family thirty years ago.Wilbur Ward, the neighbor who ran toward the flames that Christmas Eve, saw something in that fire. Something that changed him. Something that compelled him to salvage the blackened wood, retreat to his shed, and craft an object of precise and deliberate malevolence before vanishing without a trace.But knowing the calendar's origin answers only part of the question. The greater mystery remains: What does it want? Why Matt? And what happens when the final door is opened on Christmas Eve — the anniversary of the night his family burned alive?Thirteen doors have been opened. Thirteen horrors have been unleashed. A man drowned. A woman crushed. Snakes coiled in a child's bed. Blood erupted from impossible spaces. And now, scattered across an icy driveway in upstate New York, dozens of human teeth lie in the snow — each one a grim promise that the calendar is far from finished.Eleven doors remain.The smoky odor that haunts Marshport. The hooded figure glimpsed at crime scenes. The apparition of Steven, smelling of ash and demanding obedience. These pieces orbit the calendar like satellites around a dark star, and Matt is only beginning to understand how they connect.He came to Bayville seeking closure. Instead, he found confirmation that the evil which took his family never truly died. It waited. It planned. And through Wilbur Ward's hands, it built itself a new vessel — one designed specifically for Matthew Klein.The calendar has rules. Matt has learned what happens when they're broken. But as the days count down toward Christmas, a more terrifying question emerges: What happens when they're followed? What awaits at the end of this twisted game?December 14th arrives with Matt still standing in Nicole Ward's driveway, bloody teeth at his feet, the calendar clutched in his trembling hands. The car crash smolders nearby. The shed full of Wilbur's creations stands open behind him.And somewhere, in the shadows between what is known and what is coming, a beast watches.Get the print version of the novel: https://weirddarkness.com/AdventOfEvil#WeirdDarkness #ChristmasHorror #HolidayHorror #SupernaturalThriller #HauntedCalendar #DarkChristmas #HorrorStory #DemonicEvil #CreepyTales #YuletideTerror

England arrive in Adelaide facing a must-win Test, but the odds are stacked. Australia have lost just once in their last 11 Tests, and only one team in the 149-year history of Test cricket has ever come back from 2–0 down.Brendon McCullum backs continuity, rejecting “knee-jerk” selection calls. Bashir and Tongue remain in the frame, with Ed noting Bashir could be “more effective on day one in Adelaide than at any other point in the series.” The batting order looks locked in, but Ed warns it's “a hard bet that it just turns around.”Corbin's been doing the calculations, and the numbers show this red-ball Adelaide Test is far tougher for batters than the pink-ball version. Ed explains why: “The ball can get caught in the grass and bounce more slowly - it almost feels like you're facing a tennis ball,” making the toss and bowling first crucial.They also discuss a rare India–Pakistan umpiring pairing, ongoing Australian selection debates, preview the BBL where Perth's list stands out, and wrap up with the Hurricanes dominating the WBBL final as Lizelle Lee stars and Elyse Villani signs off in style. It's a packed episode across the wide world of cricket.ABC Grandstand cricket commentator Corbin Middlemas is joined by Ed Cowan to bring you all the highlights and match analysis to keep you up to speed. The pair discuss the key players and big issues that are dominating the cricket agenda. Whether it's Ashes results, the latest in live fixtures or you just need a hit of cricket banter, Corbin and Ed are here to keep you up to date on the game in Australia and abroad.Catch every episode of ‘The ABC Cricket Podcast,' hosted by Corbin Middlemas on ABC listen or wherever you get your podcasts, and get in touch with them on social media via @abc_sport This podcast was formerly known as ‘The Grandstand Cricket Podcast'

In this episode of the show, Baldy, Jamie and Stu chat with Australian international Pete Handscomb about The Ashes and the ups and downs of his cricket career so far. We start the show by diving into Pete's experience watching the Ashes as someone playing first-class cricket and with a lot of connections on both sides. Has anything come as a surprise so far? How tough is the challenge as a batter of moving from English pitches to Australian pitches? And should we expect anything different from in Adelaide or Melbourne? As the conversation continues, we move to Pete's own Ashes experience and the extra levels of scrutiny that come from playing on the biggest of stages. There's plenty in here about mindset and approach, and how tough times led to a rethink that has paid huge dividends in recent seasons. Along with sharing the tough times, Pete also recalls the moment he first received his Baggy Green from long-time friend and current Cricket Victoria coach Chris Rogers, and the moment he scored his first Test hundred against Pakistan. With the fires still burning for an international recall, Pete talks about how the game has changed since his debut, looks back at the challenge of facing India in India on difficult batting surfaces and shares what he's learned about the leadership style that works best for him, plus a few young players to watch out for on the Australian domestic circuit, such as Campbell Kellaway and Oliver Peake. To round out the show, we run through our quickfire round that hits on a number of topics, such as Pete's favourite innings, the toughest bowler he's faced and the most talented cricketer he's ever encountered. All in all, it was a conversation we really enjoyed and we hope you will too. We'll be back in your feed after the Test matches between England & Australia and New Zealand & the West Indies.

England's Ashes Disaster and Dallas the Dog's Joyful Example: Colleague Jeremy Zakis discusses the English cricket team's disastrous performance in the Ashes, trailing Australia 2-0 while facing backlash for aggressive behavior toward reporters, contrasting this negativity with a story about Dallas, a dog who befriends wild birds, suggesting the English team could learn from such joy. 1940

Season 19, Episode 15: This week, from Brunswick Street Oval in Melbourne during our TFW XI match, more Ashes chatter and chunter with Usman Khawaja stepping up to the press conference mic, Pat Cummins and Nathan Lyon to come back for Australia, England to deal with their batting problems in time-honoured fashion by picking the same top seven and dropping bowlers, NZ spank West Indies second time around, and Jimmy Anderson will be a county captain. Most newsworthy of all, though, for the first time in history Beth Mooney didn't make a matchwinning score in a final.

Will Perry is joined by Jacqui Oatley, Sam Dean and Jack Pitt-Brooke to reflect on the weekend's sporting action.We begin with Mo Salah, asking whether his twenty-minute appearance against Brighton marked a Liverpool farewell before his departure for AFCON. Next, we turn to Arsenal's late home win over Wolves, with Jack asking whether their recent habit of conceding late goals reveals a vulnerability we didn't see earlier in the season.We then move to the Ashes, with Adam Collins joining us to discuss how England's performances have been perceived in Australia. Adam considers the tough conditions in the Adelaide heat for the third Test, and we ask whether England will make changes to the team.Finally, we look at Enzo Maresca's dramatic comments after the win over Everton, describing it as his worst 48 hours since joining Chelsea. Jack felt the remarks came out of the blue and were notably vague, and while they didn't appear to be aimed at the fans, we ask whether they reflected a deeper discontent with the club itself.   Sunday Supplement is a Sky Sports podcast.

After England's break in Noosa, Brendon McCullum speaks and declares that England will keep the same top seven, and also explains more about what he meant by England overtraining before the Brisbane Test. He is clear though that if they play much smarter cricket than they did in Brisbane they can wIn in Adelaide and then 'the narrative changes.'

Australia cruised to an emphatic eight-wicket win over England in the day-night second Ashes Test in Brisbane on Sunday for an ominous 2-0 lead in the series. Set a paltry target of 65 for victory, Australia captain Steve Smith pulled Gus Atkinson for a huge six over square leg to get the job done in style. BBC chief cricket commentator Jonathan Agnew joined Piney to discuss. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode of the show, Stu and Raj look back at the second Test between New Zealand and the West Indies, which saw the Black Caps take a 1-0 series lead at the Basin Reserve in Wellington. We start with our initial reaction to a game between two teams with a host of changes, that at times looked set to be closely fought but ultimately ended in a comfortable victory for the Black Caps. The New Zealand bowling attack comes in for praise, especially Blair Tickner, Jacob Duffy and Michael Rae, and there's also a conversation about the role of spin in the Test team going forward and the role Zak Foulkes can play once the ball stops swinging. As we bounce around a number of talking points, we chat about Mitch Hay's impressive debut, Devon Conway's recent form and how the Black Caps dealt with losing another fast bowler to injury early on in the match. To round out the show, we discuss the level of disappointment the West Indies must be feeling, a potential debut for Kristian Clarke and our hopes and dreams for the third and final Test at Mount Maunganui, starting 18 December. If all goes to plan, we'll be back in your feed in a day or two to bring you a conversation with Australian international Peter Handscomb, which is bound to include a bit more Ashes chat.

It's time for the perspective of an Englishman. BBC commentator Henry Moeran chats to Sam and Lehmo live from the English team hotel, where players are arriving after their break in Noosa.

The Ashes are basically done and dusted after England's pink ball capitulation. Time for the third session of Cricket Cliches, but is it a tricky little one? Stokes and Baz have been facing the media, maybe the toughest test of all. Is there anything they can say that will help? Don't think so, champ. What we need is another way to bring a bit of levity to proceedings. No disingenuous protests here, there's really nothing funnier than a man getting hit in the balls.

From playing against Brian Lara and Brendon McCullum to starring in 'Married at First Sight', John Aiken's story is extraordinary. He tells Stephan Shemilt how it all happened.

Hey friends!Welcome back to another episode of the Anchored by the Sword Podcast. Today's conversation… whew. Get ready. God's presence is all over this one.I'm honored to introduce you to Juliet Dawn, a UK-based singer, worshipper, storyteller, and a woman with a testimony so powerful it honestly feels like it should be a movie. Her newest album, Born to Be, released in September, and the story behind it will absolutely strengthen your faith.Juliet grew up knowing Jesus from a young age, but what she walked through in adulthood is almost unimaginable — coercive control, a decade of emotional abuse, near-death experiences, trauma, miscarriages, the loss of twins, physical illness, spider bites, PTSD, chronic pain, a broken singing voice, nervous breakdowns, and a long battle for healing.But through every season, God kept whispering His promises:“My times are in Your hands.”“You have not given me a spirit of fear…”“There is a time for everything under heaven.”And now?God has taken Juliette from the deepest valleys into a season of redemption, restoration, and fulfillment of a prayer she prayed at 21:“Lord, I just want to make a difference — no matter the cost.”You'll hear how God led her from trauma to testimony, from brokenness to Nashville recording studios, from silence to releasing powerful songs like There's a Time and Beauty for Ashes.Her music has brought people to tears, healed hearts, and opened doors only God Himself could open.We talk about:✨ Surviving emotional abuse✨ Walking through devastating loss✨ The long road of healing✨ God's miracles in impossible medical situations✨ The anointing behind her songs✨ Recording in Nashville✨ Her role in the Pilgrim's Progress musical film✨ What it looks like to hold onto hope when everything hurtsJuliet's story is raw, breathtaking, and soaked in God's glory.My prayer is that you leave this episode knowing—deep in your bones—that God truly brings beauty from the ashes.Listen in. Be encouraged. And let the hope rise again.Bio:Juliet Dawn is a multifaceted artist whose creative output spans across performance, music, poetry, film and literature, expressing messages of hope and light born of her own journey of overcoming. Her personal story is one of significant trauma and loss, but she has found restoration through her Christian faith, love and resilience, and now purposes to bring compelling wisdom to others through meaningful lessons learnt. Juliet's compelling story weaves through all that she communicates, and now by combining the gifts of her rich, raw life and poetic honesty, she offers something that is both credible, and grounded in real life. Many of the songs and melodies are simply extraordinary, and this is the hallmark of the daughter/mother team; music that is not only timeless, but that leaves a forever deposit in people's hearts!Anchor Verses:Jeremiah 29:112 Timothy 1:7Ecclesiastes 3Connect with Juliet:Website: https://www.julietdawn.co.ukIG: https://www.instagram.com/julietdawnmusicFB: https://www.facebook.com/dovetailshalom/***We love hearing from you!

Graeme Swann was one of the stars of England's triumphant Ashes campaign of 2010/11. In this interview he recounts how England prepared for that series - with a graphic account of the infamous boot camp in Germany - the difficult start to the series in the Gabba, how they recovered and then went on to produce almost the perfect performance at the Adelaide Oval where England play next. Graeme Swann will be part of the TNT Sports commentary team for the next Test.

He gives them his thoughts on England's Ashes hopes down under, as well as trying to build a culture during his time as Australia's white-ball captain and (obviously) what's the biggest animal he could catch? All that, plus how he's settling into life as a pundit since retirement.

It is all about the Ashes as Alison Mitchell, Clint Wheeldon and Charu Sharma assess where it went wrong for England in the second Test match at Brisbane and ask how that performance will impact Adelaide and the rest of the series. We are joined by three-time Ashes winner and former England wicketkeeper Matt Prior. He reacts to Brendon McCullum's comments that England were ‘overprepared', tells us how the Ashes winning team he was involved in back in 2010/11 prepared and compares the wicketkeeping of Jamie Smith and Alex Carey. He also tells us what the England team will miss the most about Mark Wood after he has been ruled out of the series after a reoccurrence of his knee injury. Plus, we ask what is the best/quirkiest cricket T-shirt?

Urban trees don't have to become waste. With the right approach, they can be transformed into sustainable, high-quality wood products that reduce carbon footprints and strengthen local communities. In this episode of the Woodpreneur Podcast, host Jennifer Alger sits down with Paul Hickman, founder of Urban Ashes, to explore the critical importance of urban wood utilization. Paul shares his fascinating journey from the scenic arts industry to creating sustainable products from urban wood, with a particular focus on ash trees affected by the devastating Emerald Ash Borer. His work demonstrates how trees that would otherwise end up in landfills can become valuable resources for woodworkers, builders, and communities. You'll hear about the Urban Wood Project and its impact on local communities, Paul's transition from manufacturing wood products to consulting and education, and why urban wood utilization is essential for reducing carbon footprints. Paul emphasizes the need for increased education and awareness about urban wood, the importance of establishing industry standards, and the valuable role organizations like the Climate Smart Wood Group play in promoting sustainable practices. This conversation dives into both the challenges and opportunities facing the urban wood movement, from building market demand to creating infrastructure that supports salvage and milling operations. Whether you're a woodworker looking for sustainable materials, interested in urban forestry and environmental impact, or curious about how communities can turn a tree crisis into economic opportunity, this episode offers compelling insights and actionable ideas.

Australia Dominates England in First Ashes Test Amidst Heat and Humidity: Colleague Jeremy Zakis reports that Australia has taken a commanding lead in the Ashes, scoring 511 runs to England's opening 334, attributing the English team's struggle to the harsh Australian environment ranging from 100-degree dry heat in Perth to tropical humidity in Brisbane, which fatigues players and alters ball aerodynamics; the Australian squad appears to be executing a strategic "long ball" game that England failed to anticipate, with an Australian victory in the next match in Melbourne set to secure the series win. 1937
