Pete and Gideon watch a manic twenty-wicket Boxing Day at the MCG before a world record crowd, with Australia's attack outdoing England's on a pitch with a lethal 10mm of grass.  Is Australia beatable?  Is England broken?  Will we be out of here in two days?  It's all up for grabs as Test batting goes up the chute.

Pete and Gid watch Australia steadily grind their way through England's second innings at Adelaide Oval, until they're within a whiff of retaining the Ashes, with Pat Cummins and Nathan Lyon making their presences felt, and Joe Root and Harry Brook eclipsed.  Not much longer now folks.
