England Win in Melbourne: Pitch Debate & What Comes Next | Stick To Cricket EP 28

The Stick to Cricket team are back in Melbourne to react to a huge moment in the Ashes, as England finally end their long wait for a Test win in Australia - Brought to you by Betfair! 🏏

The panel reflect on a fast-paced, two-day Test at the MCG and debate whether fans deserved more cricket, with questions raised about pitch preparation and whether an extra game should have been played. Alastair Cook gives his honest view on the surface and explains why he feels partly responsible for how conditions played out, while the team also pay tribute to Shane Warne’s incredible legacy at the MCG.

With England breaking a drought that stretches back years, the conversation turns to how long it has really been since they last tasted victory down under and why Michael Vaughan believes Australia were there for the taking this series. There’s strong discussion around England’s management, whether changes are needed moving forward, and what this win actually means for the remainder of the series.

The team also give their verdict on Zak Crawley’s series so far, Shoaib Bashir’s future and what England should take from this performance as they look ahead to the final Test.

Insightful, honest and full of debate, this episode breaks down a landmark win and asks the big question: where does England go from here?
