Headbutts and buttheads

Season 4, Ep 2: Bancroft and Bairstow butting heads in Brisbane. In November 2017, Cameron Bancroft didn’t just make an unbeaten 80 to win an Ashes Test, he also defused an international incident while delivering a comedy routine. Not bad on debut. Geoff and Adam revisit that headbutt, and Jonny Bairstow’s explanation that failed to remotely explain anything. We also analyse everything from the first Ashes Test: Steve Smith genius, England letting chances slip, and the bouncer wars that may just be beginning.
