Show notes
Have Australia left their rebuild too late?
Australia’s Test side has an average age of 33, with several senior players approaching what could be their final Ashes series. Sanjay and Geraint assess whether the selectors should begin making difficult decisions now—and examine the young Australians pushing for an opportunity.
They also discuss England’s progress towards the 2027 Ashes, Joe Root’s return as captain, Brydon Carse’s nightclub incident and whether England have a wider problem with player behaviour.
Plus, Silly Point and Geraint’s Golden Nuggets on standing up to the stumps.
