In this episode of the show, Baldy, Stu and Raj look back at the first Test between New Zealand and the West Indies, and give a brief shout out to Virat Kohli and a live reaction to the goings on in the second Ashes Test. With England and Australia still on the field at our regular Sunday recording time (check back in a day or two for our wrap of that match), we dedicated the majority of this episode to unpacking the West Indies' impressive rearguard action against the Black Caps at Hagley Oval. We start with a round-up of emotions after what proved to be a draining final couple of days in the first Test of the New Zealand summer. The Black Caps looked set for victory with the West Indies at 72-4 chasing 500+, but injuries to Matt Henry, Nathan Smith & Tom Blundell and an outstanding fighting effort from Shai Hope, Justin Greaves & Kemar Roach took the game into the final overs and secured a draw for the visitors. As we bounce around a number of talking points, there's also praise for Jacob Duffy, Tom Latham & Rachin Ravindra, we discuss the pitch and umpiring decisions, and debate whether the Black Caps still had enough chances to win or whether the West Indies should have put the accelerator down in the final session in an attempt to chase down the target. In amongst all of that, we speculate on the New Zealand lineup for the second Test and the prospect of potential Test debuts for Mitch Hay and Michael Rae or an SOS call-up to Kyle Jamieson. To round out the show, we there's a shout-out to Virat Kohli for his stacks of runs in the ODI series against South Africa, plus Baldy's live reaction to the news that Australia were on the verge of victory against England under lights in Brisbane. We'll be back in your feed in a day or two to review that second Ashes Test, then again next week with more from here in New Zealand and around the world.

"Lord" Travis Head on his amazing First Test performance at Perth Stadium We're borrowing a Rush Hour talk topic: Who's your hallpass... unusual? Mark Heron talks about The Longest Day for the Cancer CouncilSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Australia takes a 1–0 lead in the Ashes, and the first Test in Perth had everything - chaos, brilliance, and a statement performance from Mitchell Starc that puts him within touching distance of Wasim Akram on the all-time list. I sat down with former Australian Test spinner Bryce McGain to break down one of the most dramatic Ashes openers we've seen in years. We unpack Travis Head's electric walkout, his game-changing innings, and why his mentality makes him a genuine long-term opening option. Bryce also dives into the big questions around England's attack - why Wood and Archer's pace fell away, whether they can sustain it over five Tests, and the selection pressure now building on their squad. We cover the tactical battle too: Steve Smith's control of the game, the “defining moments” Australia seized, and how Scott Boland and debutant Brendan Doggett flipped the match with discipline and patience. Plus, Bryce shares insight on Usman Khawaja's form lines, Josh Inglis pushing for selection, Pat Cummins' pink-ball prep, and why the Gabba day-night Test is perfectly set up for another Mitchell Starc masterclass. A huge wrap, a heap of insight - and a cracking chat ahead of an even bigger week in Brisbane. www.instagram.com/sportingmax.podcast/

In this episode of the show, Binksy, Baldy, Jamie and Stu look back at the first Test between Australia and England, which was action-packed but was finished within two days. There was plenty of drama in the lead-up to The Ashes, but that was nothing compared with the rollercoaster we saw on the field. Mitchell Starc started with a bang, England's pace battery hit back and it seemed like things were about to settle down by lunch on the second day with England one wicket down and leading by 99. But instead the action resumed, with the visitors crumbling and Travis Head's hundred powering Australia to victory within two sessions. We react to the emotion of the two days, then discuss the lineups and the pitch before highlighting key performers like Starc, Head, Ollie Pope, Jofra Archer and Marnus Labuschagne. We ask where it all went wrong for England, debate whether Travis Head's success could bring an unexpected end to Usman Khawaja's Test career, talk through potential changes for the second Test and plenty more as we try to process a game which moved through the gears at a rapid pace.
