Liam Before Wicket and The County Chat - The Ashes are 2-0 with 3 matches left are the Ashes over?

Liam Before Wicket and I discuss the Ashes two test matches in, as England fans we review the first two tests and look to see if there is any optimism to take for the next three. As English fans we discuss all the things that went wrong with the first two tests, as well as all things wrong with England cricket in a wider sense. As well as how Australia’s dominance often feels inevitable in tours of the country and why that often happens.Chapters00:00- 02:32- Intro and intro chat02:32-06:05 - Any potential optimism as England fans?06:05-13:05 The bizarre Bashir situation and England’s general spin problems 13:05-20:00 England’s loyalty to players, a long term problem? 20:00-33:18 Is England’s bowling group good enough to win test matches in Aus? 33:18-36:15 Does the squad selection show systemic issues with England’s pathways for talent?36:15-41:40 What have Australia done well to be 2-0 after 2 tests?41:40-43:50 Where are England’s match winners for the future? 43:50-47:08 What will Australia’s XI look at Adelaide and beyond? 47:08-51:06 Is the Adelaide surface just what England need?51:06-58:27 What England players would you like to get a chance in the next 3 tests? 58:27-58:51 Outro and thanks for watching!
