Brad Haddin, Alyssa Healy and Adam Peacock join you to preview the final 2025/26 Ashes Test in Sydney. We look back at Usman’s career, with Hadds and Heals sharing some of their best memories from his time in the game. We also examine the likely Australian squad for Sydney and how the pitch is expected to play. Is Cam Green safe in the side? Will Murphy and/or Webster get a chance? And could we see Usman back at the top of the order?

Plus, Travis Head joins us to chat about his favourite Khawaja memory, eating prawns on Christmas, and how this Ashes series has been a friendly affair. We finish with Sundries and chat about the upcoming T20 World Cup squad, the Big Bash, and a few updates from the WPL.
