Episode Notes

The Ashes countdown begins with Menners and Gav Joshi diving into all the cricket news from Australia and beyond. Menners opens the show with a rare apology to English fans after last week’s passionate rant — but the rivalry is heating up fast with the first Test just days away.

The duo break down India’s T20 series win over Australia, dissect the Aussies’ middle-order issues, and debate the left-arm bowling question ahead of next year’s T20 World Cup. 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.
