The countdown to The Ashes continues… and things get very fun along the way!

It’s content capture week for the Aussie cricket team — five days of cameras, chaos, and countless laughs. From early gym sessions with Nathan Lyon, to Alex Carey’s Men’s Health shoot prep, to Mitch Starc’s behind-the-scenes banter (and a cheeky cameo from Alyssa Healy) — this is professional cricket like you’ve never heard it before.

Howie joins the crew on set as the players juggle media, training, and footy finals chat — all while keeping spirits high and energy levels (just) alive. 

From covering up a “Picasso” to Starcy’s pump-up speeches… it’s the unfiltered, hilarious, and human side of Australia’s stars before the Ashes heat up.

The laughs are rolling, the cameras are rolling… and the countdown is well and truly on.
