Ashes Done in 11 Days, Lyon Down, Snicko's Sick, England’s Batting 101 Problem

Australia complete a 3–0 Ashes whitewash in 11 days. James Brayshaw, Matthew Hayden and Greg Blewett break down the Adelaide Test: Alex Carey’s match-defining hundred, Travis Head’s Adelaide dominance, Cummins’ impact, and England’s recurring batting problem in Australia (hands outside off, driving on the up… straight to slip).
Big injury news: Nathan Lyon’s hamstring tear and the selection headache for the MCG Boxing Day Test, Murphy vs Rocchiccioli vs Kuhnemann, plus debate over Usman Khawaja, Cameron Green’s role, and which quicks play (Boland, Starc, Hazlewood/Cummins status).
Also: the Snicko controversy (and whether it should be binned), Barmy Army earning a tick, and some off-field stories that definitely didn’t come from HR training.
