Listen to the last episode:

Ashes prep is starting to get real. From white ball, to red ball and everything in between. Including, a special catch up with Nathan Lyon.

Mitch Starc goes from his first hit back in the nets, to life back on the road. While Alex Carey gets some crucial red-ball time for South Australia in a Sheffield Shield final rematch, up against an in-form Marnus Labuschagne… who’s making a serious case for his Ashes return.

And then there are nerves. The beautiful, brutal part of sport that every elite athlete learns to live with.

From sponsor shoots to long days at Cricket Central, from early-morning Shield prep to the chaos of school runs before training. The grind, excitement, and professionalism of Ashes build-up are on full display.

It captures the tension, excitement, and emotion of the calm before the Ashes storm.
