Australia surge to a dominant 2–0 Ashes lead, and Menners and Damien break down everything from Hazlewood and Wood being ruled out, to selection headaches, England’s unraveling, and record-breaking TV ratings. They dive into Australia’s bowling depth, the Head/Weatherald opening debate, Baz McCullum’s pressure cooker, and why England’s tour is bordering on farce. The pair also wrap the WBBL finals race, Shield standouts, Australia A’s thrashing of the Lions, and the early buzz around BBL|14 — plus “Can’t Let It Go,” featuring Ricky Ponting’s fiery commentary outburst.
