Episode Notes

Australia moved to the brink of retaining the Ashes with a dominant Day 4 performance in Adelaide. After setting England a daunting world-record chase, the match swung decisively in the final session as Pat Cummins ripped through the top order before Nathan Lyon produced a spell of elite off-spin to crush England’s resistance. Menners breaks down Travis Head’s commanding 170, key moments in Australia’s batting collapse, England’s brief fightback, and the decisive late wickets that left the visitors staring at defeat, while also calling out England’s leadership and media silence as Bazball continues to unravel.
