Podcast appearances and mentions of Joe Root

Reaction to a second day in Brisbane that saw England miss out on putting heat on the hostsMichael Vaughan, Glenn McGrath and Jonathan Agnew join Simon Mann to discuss a frustrating day for England in Brisbane. Plus, we hear from Joe Root after this first Ashes century in Australia.

The Ashes Daily 2025, 2nd Test, Brisbane Day 1: This whole series has been set up to see Joe Root face down one giant hoodoo: can he make tons in Australia? Today, it was a familiar tale after early wickets, but the chance got closer and closer... another wild Ashes day with more Starc jaffas, some pulverising late batting blows, remarkable stupidity, and the best run out and catch you may ever have seen in the same innings.

Simon Mann is joined by Jonathan Agnew, Glenn McGrath, Phil Tufnell and Andy Zaltzman to review an absorbing opening day at the Gabba where Joe Root was the star.We also hear from Zak Crawley who made 76 plus Australia's wicketkeeper Alex Carey.

Joe Root has finally got the monkey of his back with an irrepressible hundred at the Gabba, his first in Australia and his 40th overall. It was the centrepiece of a compelling first day in Brisbane which England looked like squandering at several points, but was saved by Root's dedication and skill and an unexpected unbroken last wicket stand between him and Jofra Archer. Simon Hughes and Simon Mann are joined by Matt Prior to reflect on a day when Mitchell Starc became the world's leading left arm wicket taker. #ashes #england #australia #root Learn more about your ad choices.

England recover from early trouble to reach 9/325 on Day 1 of the Gabba day-night Test, driven by a superb unbeaten century from Joe Root (135*) and a relentless spell from Mitchell Starc (6/71). Australia's selection calls (no Lyon, Cummins rested) and a dramatic final-hour stall become key storylines, while standout fielding moments and some self-inflicted English dismissals shape a seesawing day. The consensus: honours even, on a pitch that promises runs for those who bat well over the next two days. Selection shock & conditions at the Gabba — Australia's XI explained; Lyon left out, Cummins rested; pitch read and game plan. (2:18) Starc's opening burst & England's recovery — Two early blows, then Root–Crawley rebuild. (7:17) Root's milestone & England's middle-order misses — Brook and Jacks gift wickets; Root anchors to a first Aussie ton. (18:26) Final-hour chaos & verdict on Day 1 — Archer's late surge, Australia's puzzling tactics, and the wrap-up. (23:22) Cricket Unfiltered Merchandise is Here! We've launched our official Cricket Unfiltered merch store thanks to a brilliant partnership with Exactamundo, a longtime supporter of the show.

Brad Haddin and Adam Peacock join you from the Gabba in Brisbane to recap a solid day of Ashes Test cricket. Joe Root finally broke his drought of scoring a hundred in Australia (Haydos must be happy). Alex Carey was excellent with the gloves, Starc collected ANOTHER six-wicket haul, and will Australia miss Nathan Lyon in this Test?

No team is prettier in pink than Australia; victorious in 12 of 13 Test matches in this format. Why are they so strong and how will England seek to counter that to level the Ashes? We pull apart likely tactics to understand how both sides will approach the pink Test at the traditional Australian fortress of the GABBA. Featured: Alex Malcolm, journalist, Cricinfo. UPDATE: post release Usman Khawaja was ruled out of Australia's team.

Usman Khawaja has unloaded on the Perth pitch. How justified is the spicy criticism and how much is reputation management? The opener is racing to be fit, but the conversation has centred on whether Travis Head should open. The South Australian believes batting orders are overrated and Pat Cummins agrees. Steve Smith is trialling NFL style ‘eye black' will it make a difference? One factor that will matter is the absence of English tearaway Mark Wood, the boys discuss how England could adapt their approach in Brisbane.PLUS, the team hit international cricket, Sheffield Shield and Ellyse Perry doing Ellyse Perry things in the WBBL.Across the 2025-26 Ashes series, 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.

talkSPORT's Cricket Editor Jon Norman is joined by the former England fast bowler Darren Gough to look ahead to the start of the second Test between Australia and England in Brisbane, with England looking to level the series. They discuss how big a difference a pink ball Test is compared to a red ball, debate if an Ashes series needs a pink ball Test, and they hear from both Ben Stokes and Joe Root. As well as this, they're joined by the former Australia bowler Damien Fleming and the Brisbane Courier Mail's Robert 'Crash' Craddock gives us the lowdown on what to expect from conditions at the Gabba. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Joe Root tells Stephan Shemilt that the Ashes doesn't need a pink-ball Test match. Australia's first Test centurion Travis Head responds by telling Stephan "Pink ball, white ball, red ball - who really cares?".As the pair differ on views ahead of the Test between England and Australia at The Gabba, Eleanor Oldroyd sits in a cafe just outside the iconic venue with Andy Zaltzman and Henry Moeran to look ahead to the second match of the Ashes. Plus, former Australia Test skipper Tim Paine discusses what the pink-ball offers under the lights in Brisbane.

Ed and Corb assess Pat Cummins' likely pink-ball return but how will Australia rotate their quicks with Hazlewood waiting in the wings and selection pressure building fast? Mitch Marsh comeback chat gets a reality check, while the pair unpack Matt Renshaw's backing of Usman Khawaja and what it really means for Australia's opening future.Elsewhere, one player can now decide a Test in a single session with Travis Head showing exactly how in Perth. Is this suddenly a risk for Australia in Brisbane?Plus: the Gabba looms as a swing-fest, the Sheffield Shield pressure gauge rises as Victoria lead, NSW wobble, and selection headaches deepen — and off the field, the financial pressure on Test cricket leaves CA heading into another uncertain summer.Across the 2025-26 Ashes series, 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.

One key metric could tell you immediately whether a multifamily real estate investment is worth buying—but most people ignore it. It's not cash flow, it's not cap rate, and it's probably something you've overlooked dozens of times. Joe Root helped grow his family's multifamily portfolio and manages over 100 properties using this metric. Joe left the glitz of a corporate Wall Street career when he realized his family's apartment portfolio was better than the big city life. Multifamily management quickly became his new obsession. During the Great Financial Crisis of 2008, Joe stepped in to manage (and buy) foreclosed properties that were barely staying afloat.  Through 20 years of multifamily experience, he's pinpointed the most overlooked markets in the country, how to dodge rent control and get your own city government to actively fight against it, and the #1 mistake you can make when screening tenants. He's sharing it all, plus his key multifamily metric, in this episode.  Insights from today's episode: The one screening metric Joe uses to determine if a multifamily investment is worth it What to do when one of your tenants turns your building into a rave venue  An underrated area of the country that multifamily investors shouldn't ignore  A sign that you're managing your portfolio inefficiently (and it could cost you) Why Joe's team is moving into new development for even greater returns    —   Connect with Joe on LinkedIn   East Superior Real Estate Partners   Are you a high-net-worth investor with capital to deploy in the next 12 months?

As England reckons with a humbling series defeat, the commitment to the Bazball ethos seemingly remains intact within the group. Ed and Corbin analyse the refusal to learn lessons from Perth and what that might mean for the team's hierarchy. The team marvels at Travis Head's historic innings and dig into the left hander's importance before unpacking Usman Khawaja's short term future. Across the 2025-26 Ashes series, 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.

Engeland se voormalige kaptein, Andrew Strauss, sê die span gaan swaar leun op wedstrydwenners soos kaptein Ben Stokes, Joe Root en Harry Brook in die reeks om die As. Engeland het die As laas in 2015 gewen en kon in 2011 laas in Australië wen, terwyl die Aussies hul laaste drie tuisreekse ingepalm het. Hierdie seisoen se reeks begin Vrydag in Perth. Strauss het op die Sky Sports Cricket Podcast gesê Engeland se kolflys is nie sterk genoeg nie:

#OZWATCH: 3/4 - Ashes Preparation: Psychological Tactics and English Threats The pre-Ashes period involves psychological tactics. Australian fast bowler Josh Hazelwood publicly praised England's batting lineup as "one of the most fearsome ever". This is interpreted as a psychological maneuver to either mock England, make them overconfident, or encourage them to "rest on their laurels" and be less prepared, giving Australia an advantage. The English team is expected to be "very, very strong" after a "soul search" following past Ashes losses. Joe Root, a "very good batter" who has adopted a more conservative style, is considered one of Australia's "biggest threats" and has mentored many other English players. Harry Brookke is also mentioned as a key player for England. JEREMY ZAKIS, NEW SOUTH WALES. #FRIENDSOFHISTORYDEBATINGSOCIETY

Joe Root - The Deal That Changed My Life We're back in the studio with multifamily investor Joe Root, diving into the deal that changed his life. Joe shares the story of his very first building purchase in Chicago—an investment that nearly went sideways during the 2008 financial crisis. With seller financing, a looming balloon note, and a lender unwilling to refinance, Joe found himself in a high-pressure situation that tested both his strategy and his resilience. In this episode, we cover: ✅ Joe's first multifamily deal in 2006 and lessons learned during the Great Financial Crisis ✅ Creative financing strategies and refinancing challenges ✅ How executing a business plan is critical to long-term success ✅ The importance of resilience, timing, and surrounding yourself with the right people ✅ Joe's outlook on multifamily investing and where he sees opportunities today Joe's story is a powerful reminder that even in tough markets, execution and perseverance can turn a near-disaster into a long-term win.
