The guys step back from the daily wrap to confront what the series result now unlocks. “We've now got lots of selection debates,” Cowan says, and few are bigger than Usman Khawaja's role, Josh Inglis' opportunity, and how much weight selectors place on decisions already made.With Pat Cummins set to rest, Steve Smith a likely return, and Nathan Lyon unavailable, the guys also dig into the spinner question, the case for Bo Webster, and how Australia balance investment versus reward now that the series is decided.Beyond the Ashes, there's time for a wild Big Bash run chase, designated hitter debates, and the IPL auction fallout.The urn is secure.

Australia sealed the Ashes in Adelaide by staying patient long enough for England to defeat themselves.For a moment on day five, with wickets in hand and runs still on the board, the chase felt alive. But Australia never panicked and, as Ed Cowan explains, every time England edged towards belief, they handed momentum straight back.England played their best cricket when they showed restraint, and lost it when they didn't.Australia trusted time, conditions, and discipline, waited for the mistakes, and closed out the series without needing to force the result.

Australia retains The Ashes with an unassailable lead in the series as it secures the win in Adelaide. 

Australia tightened their grip on the third Ashes Test on day four, leaving England 228 runs away with just four wickets in hand as the match heads into a decisive final day. With special guest Stuart Clark joining Corbin Middlemas, the mood was one of inevitability. As Corbin put it, “the shorthand of the day is that Australia are on the cusp of victory.”Nathan Lyon was central to that squeeze, ripping through England's middle order in a decisive evening spell. Clark summed it up succinctly: “Lyon had them in a spin in that final session,” triggering a collapse that tilted the match firmly Australia's way. Pat Cummins again underlined his value, striking before and after the breaks and dismissing Joe Root for the 13th time in Tests. “He's a freal, your strike bowler and your workhorse,” Clark said.The conversation also turned to England's shifting approach, with Bazball increasingly shelved under sustained pressure. Clark was blunt in assessment: “Bad planning. Bad preparation. What did they think was going to happen?”With four wickets left and history stacked against them, England face a final-day climb Australia expect to finish.ABC Grandstand cricket commentator Corbin Middlemas is joined by special guest Stuart Clark to bring you all the highlights and match analysis to keep you up to speed.

While Australia sit 2-0 up in the series, the guys dig into whether England have fallen into an “exaggerated sense of their own ability” as they enjoy their “reset in Noosa” ahead of the third test.It took Stokes and Jacks finally “playing properly” on the last day for England to show any real fight, and Corbin and Ed explore whether that flicker of resistance tells us anything or simply exposes a team that is, in Ed's words, “just not very good”.Selection changes feel inevitable for England, with Archer's effort labelled “a pathetic test”, Jacks battling to hold his place and Bashir's absence becoming harder to explain.Back to Australia, the lads also touch on the players who seem to vanish at the edges of selection talk, with Beau Webster slipping under what Corbin jokingly frames as an “invisibility cloak.” plus is Australia's depth so strong that fringe players can disappear from view for months and still be closer to a baggy green than anyone in England's touring squad.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.
