England were cruising… until they weren’t. In one of the most outrageous opening Tests in Ashes history, the team manages to go from “unbeatable position” to “full scale capitulation” in just 99 balls. Christian emerges from a metaphorical coma, absolutely convinced England must have won, and the we break the truth to him gently.

We relive the drama, the headlines, the meltdowns, and the Barmy Army grief spiral. The shock, the panic, the disbelief and the hilarity that only Ashes chaos can deliver.

If you missed the carnage, keep listening to hear our take England’s most spectacular collapse in years.
