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.

In this episode of the show, Binksy, Baldy and Stu look back at South Africa's 2-0 sweep of India, and look ahead to the upcoming series between the Black Caps and the West Indies, as well as the second Ashes Test. We start the show by discussing South Africa's dominant victory against India in the second and final Test of that series, which saw lower-order runs from Senuran Muthusamy and Marco Jansen backed up by impressive performances from Jansen and Simon Harmer with the ball. There's plenty of praise for the visitors, but why were they able to be so successful? Are they better than we thought? Was Shubman Gill's injury that impactful? And how much pressure does another home sweep pile on Gautam Gambhir? Next we head back to New Zealand, where we look forward to the Test series against the West Indies, which starts at Hagley Oval on Tuesday. It's a matchup that favours the Black Caps on paper, but how much have injuries impacted the strength of this Kiwi side? We talk through possible lineups, what's at stake for the likes of Devon Conway and Tom Latham with a big 12-18 months ahead, and the role Mitchell Santner could fill at number 7 in the batting order. To round out the show, we chat about the Ashes, with team selection in focus. Mark Wood is out for England, Pat Cummins isn't yet back for Australia and the Travis Head or Usman Khawaja to open the batting question still remains. Plus: could Nathan Lyon miss out, and should we even have pink-ball Tests at all in the Ashes? We'll be back in your feed next week to review the Tests and anything else that catches our eyes from around the world.

In this episode of the show, Binksy, Baldy, Jamie, Raj and Stu look ahead to the 2025-26 Ashes series between Australia and England. As usual, the Ashes hype machine has been in overdrive in recent months, but the cricket is finally (almost) here and the Top Order team are fizzing. We talk squads and potential line ups, key players and matchups, grounds and conditions, storylines to watch for and make our predictions for the series. How much will the Pat Cummins and Josh Hazlewood injuries hurt Australia? How excited are the English to unleash Jofra Archer and Mark Wood on an under-pressure Australian top order? Will Joe Root and Steve Smith imprint their class on the series? Will Nathan Lyon have an impact? Is it Scott Boland's time to shine? Can Harry Brook Bazball Australia to dust? Or will Marnus Labuschagne bounce back in a big way? And can Ben Stokes' boys etch their name into history on Aussie soil? Or will Steve Smith, Pat Cummins & co. inspire another victory for green-and-gold? There's all that and plenty more as we preview a series that's set to provide entertainment galore over the coming weeks. We'll be back in your feed regularly throughout this series to review/preview games and catch up on what's happening elsewhere in the world, including India v South Africa and Black Caps v West Indies.

Then it's full focus on the Ashes: team selection headaches, Cameron Green's fitness, Nathan Lyon's spot, and whether England's “Bazball” can survive on Australian pitches. Finally, Menners celebrates a new Big Bash rule he's been championing for a decade — fans can now keep the ball if they catch a boundary in the first over. It's a jam-packed episode of cricket insights, humour, and classic Unfiltered banter. (0:55) Menners apologizes to English fans after last week's outburst.

Australia added just the six runs to their overnight score before Nathan Lyon became Jasprit Bumrah’s fifth wicket of the innings. It meant India needed 340 runs to win but from the outset they were digging in for the draw. Pat Cummins took two wickets in an over and then Mitch Starc got Virat Kohli before lunch to put Australia on top. But Yashasvi Jaiswal and Rishabh Pant batted through the afternoon session to put the draw back in sights. It took Travis Head’s golden arm/finger and a rash shot by Pant to get the breakthrough and from there Australia held every catch, got every review right and bowled India out for 155 to win by 184 runs and lead the series 2-1 heading into Sydney!

India started the day on 9-358 and added further 11 runs before Nathan Lyon had Nitish Kumar Reddy for 114. With a lead of 105, Australia lost openers Sam Konstas and Usman Khawaja cheaply, but it was a collapse of 4 for 11 in the middle order that put India on top for the first time in the Test. But a gritty 70 from Marnus Labuschagne, 41 from Pat Cummins and an unbroken half-century stand between Nathan Lyon and Scott Boland has Australia 9-228 at stumps, leading by 333.

India were dismissed for 369 after Nitish Kumar Reddy was out for 114. Sam Konstas was out for 8 before Jasprit Bumrah ripped through Australia's middle order. Marnus Labuschange's 70 & Pat Cummins' 41 help push Australia's lead past 300, deciding not to declare ahead of stumps on Day 4 with Nathan Lyon and Scott Boland adding a partnership of 55 to have Australia 9/228 leading by 333 runs heading into the final day.Corbin Middlemas, Darren Lehmann, Phil Jaques and Stuart Clark were joined by Australian fast bowler Mitchell Starc for Grandstand at Stumps.

India started the day at 5-165 and were reduced to 7-221 inside 65 overs courtesy of an outrageous shot/dismissal from Rishabh Pant then Nathan Lyon removing his spin counterpart Ravindra Jadeja. But then Nitish Kumar Reddy and Washington Sundar combined for a stoic 127-run 8th wicket stand to defy Australia's push for victory. Sundar made 50 but fell with Reddy needing three more runs for his century. Some late drama wouldn't deny a maiden Test hundred as bad light stopped play with rain bringing an early stumps. At the close of play, India are 9-358, trailing Australia by 116 runs. Izzy Westbury and Callum Ferguson recap the action for you.
