hey this is the christian o'connell show podcast so team you're going to have to help me out here

uh i watch the cricket the ashes on day one. And then I slipped into a coma. I think I was so excited that we're going to smash you guys. And I've only just woken up. So I presume England won. Yeah, well, you couldn't... Just tell me what happened. We must have smashed you guys because Friday night, it was all in England's favour, so I presume that would have carried on. No reason for not to. Yeah, I mean, at 3 o'clock, you guys would definitely get on win. Definitely get on win. So, I've been in a coma since Friday night. England won by how many wickets? Nine, ten? I don't know how to break it to you. Just give it to me straight, guys. And that must be awkward for you to say congratulations. Because there's no way we would have just... The only word I keep seeing over the weekend is capitulation. I've never said the word in my life, but it's the only word to stop up England's humiliating. There were nine England wickets in 99 balls. Just incredible. Yeah. I'd never seen... First of all, well done, Australia. Amazing stuff. Just on all counts. But I don't think of it that's seen anything so dramatic. Friday was wild. Yeah, Friday was crazy enough. It felt like the whole series in one day. Yes, yeah was like Game of Thrones, all of Game of Thrones in one day. It was just wild. So we're winning now? Yeah, you were in an unassailable position. At 3 o'clock, I was complete despair. I was like, well, there's no way we can come back. I presume they're just going to night Ben Stokes by Saturday morning,

waking Charles up if he's not watching it already.

And then Saturday was another, just a wild, wild run.

Yeah, it was over so quickly.

It was like you went from being in an absolutely unbeatable position to losing by so much.

So much. So much.

So much. So much at that level.

And also, there's such a long gap in between.

It's a really big deal.

Yeah.

It's huge.

Now it's supposed to be 25 days at cricket.

We should still be playing cricket.

No, I can't, I don't know how England come back.

No. I think I think that's's not that really damages you psychologically. It has to. How does? How could it not? It's such, it's such global humiliation. I'm telling you now, I've seen all the newspaper headlines here. That's nothing compared to how bad it is in the UK. It's awful. You guys are savage. I saw some of those as well. They did a rap actually. They're trying to get citizenship here. Trying to find jobs

into BBL. Lower batters, lower batters. You know it's bad when Pierce Morgan is blowing up.

His timeline was amazing. We're going to win this 4-0 to then demanding people get fired. About the five stages of grief. Yes, all in one beautiful tweet page. It was amazing. So it must have been amazing for an Australian to watch. So good. It was one of the most brilliant... One of the best openings to anything you've seen before? Definitely the best, probably the best two hours of cricket,

or maybe I guess four hours of cricket that I've ever seen. It was just so thrilling. Everything went our way. And then that to see Travis Head. Oh my God. Come, and he wasn't supposed to open the batting. No. And then there was that amazing. It was like a last minute decision they were saying. It's amazing those chances

Because if you don't make that call

I don't think it goes the way it did
