With house prices continuing to grow across the country, Charles is pretty smug about being a homeowner of over 17 properties (that we know of). However, there's one socialist communist dystopian state with the audacity to try and bring house prices down, so it's time to take a stand.

Charles and Dom break down the two-day Ashes Test demolition — which, if we’re honest, comes down to one simple stat: England are sh*t at cricket. They also ask whether Bazball is basically cricket’s version of Brexit, and dive into Usman Khawaja’s “Golf War.”
