It’s Ashes Week on Cricket Unfiltered, and Menners is joined by Gav Joshi for a full, fiery preview of Australia vs England. They break down the massive build-up, the fallout from Josh Hazlewood’s injury, Australia’s selection dilemmas, England’s likely XI, and the tactical battles that could shape the summer—including short-ball plans, batting vulnerabilities, and whether Bazball will hold up in Australian conditions. They also cover South Africa’s shock win over India, the latest from the WBBL, listener correspondence, and a huge chat about cricket culture, pitches, and on-field behaviour.
