Menners is joined by Gav Joshi to lock in Australia’s likely top six for the upcoming Ashes, debate whether Cameron Green should bat at three or four, and discuss how the selectors might balance form, fitness, and experience. They also assess Pat Cummins’ injury and Steve Smith’s return, highlight emerging pace options like Jack Edwards and Matt Kelly, and analyse the strength of Australia’s bowling attack.
