Ashes aftermath: McCullum's Bazballs-up & Bethell breakthrough
Description
Former England cricketer Steve Harmison & The Guardian's Chief Sports Writer Barney Ronay in Sydney, join Chappers to reflect on arguably the most underwhelming Ashes series in memory - a 4-1 loss where Australia needed only 11 days to retain The Ashes.
Do centuries from Joe Root and 22-year-old Jacob Bethell, as well as England’s first Test win in Australia since 2011, paper over the cracks?
Will the England cricket team sack managers as fast as football has in 2026? Are captain Ben Stokes, Head Coach Brendon McCullum and Director of Cricket Rob Key capable of making the major changes England need now?
