WHAT WE COVER:
🏏 Player Ratings - Who gets an A+? Starc, Head and Carey lead the way, plus huge praise for Scott Boland and Michael Neser's tireless efforts.
🌟 Jacob Bethell's Arrival - The 22-year-old's 154 in Sydney was his maiden Test AND first-class century. Is he the future of England cricket?
👋 Usman Khawaja's Farewell - An emotional final Test for the opener who averaged 48 across his career. The boys reflect on his remarkable journey.
🔥 Beau Webster's Emergence - Off-spin, batting, brilliant fielding. Is he Australia's most complete all-rounder?
❌ England's Top Order Disaster - Pope averaged 20, Crawley 27, Duckett 20. What went wrong and where do they go from here?
💗 Pink Test Success - Glenn McGrath Foundation raises a record $11.7 million. Incredible support from the cricket community.
🏏 Big Bash Update - Melbourne Stars' fall from grace and the state of the tournament.
