| 0:00.0 | Well, here we are. We've made it to the end of the ashes. There was tension, there was high drama |
| 0:05.9 | in Australia's innings. Great to see Sniko get a touch as well, or a murmur indeed. It got close, |
| 0:11.5 | a little bit too close. It looked like at one point that Australia were going to run themselves |
| 0:15.0 | out for, I mean, forever, basically. But Australia do win by five wickets. 869,000 people have gone through the gates to see the worst Australian side beat the best English side four times in a series. |
| 0:28.1 | Cummins goes full John Terry for Chelsea in the Champions League and raises the earning full kit next to Steve Smith, |
| 0:34.0 | surrounded by thousands of rate payers who are getting on the square. It's been a great |
| 0:38.9 | game, great summer. As Steve Smith said to England, thanks for the memories. The next one starts |
| 0:43.8 | in 18 months. What have we learnt ahead of the next series? Look, I want to start by saying what a good |
| 0:49.5 | test match that was. And I can say that because the team from where I was coincidentally born won, |
| 0:55.7 | and I'm feeling magnanimous about it. |
| 0:57.9 | Okay, what a wonderful test match, and thanks to Adam Lewis, the curator, or some shit. |
| 1:02.3 | Now, let's cut to the chase. |
| 1:03.7 | A lot's been written, a lot's been said. |
| 1:05.9 | But this most recent summit on the truth of cricket has shown us that good cricket methods were emphatic, |
| 1:13.9 | good normal cricket for needy, cultish, loose international two's one. That's it. I want to speak |
| 1:20.7 | later about how efforts will be made to ensure this series doesn't count. One must stay vigilant. |
| 1:26.9 | But thankfully, not only do we have this |
| 1:29.4 | daily today for 30 or who knows how long it will go for, but we also have a full-blown podcast |
| 1:35.9 | tomorrow that will go for two hours at least, and then another one the following Tuesday for two |
| 1:40.8 | hours at least. So there's at least four and a half hours of content coming up over the next five days on this channel. If anything is missed, well, that just means there's a lot |
| 1:49.9 | to say. Because there's a lot that's been said, he goes. But I suppose the main question is who's |
| 1:54.2 | in your combined 11 now? Is Murphy in it? Is any spinner in it? |
