Charity begins at home. On the pod this week, Adam and Tony discuss a good old-fashioned ICC fiasco.

Good grief. On the pod this week, Adam and Tony attempt to make sense of Australia's 5-0 drubbing of England.

Ho ho hopeless in Australia. On a very special 2013 Christmas Special, Adam and Tony glumly don their Santa hats and reflect on England's loss of the Ashes in Perth. How have Australia been able to turn things around so comprehensively? Mitchell Johnson has been crucial, but has the most pivotal player in fact been Brad Haddin?

Yeah but no but yeah but no but there's a snake in my boots! On the pod this week, Adam and Tony sift through the wreckage of another England capitulation at Adelaide. What has happened to this team? Why are their brains so scrambled? Why do their batsmen keep getting caught on the leg-side? And is there any conceivable way they can turn things around?
