The Ashes Brisbane preview: can Starc & Head be stopped?

Season 1, Ep. 49

In this episode of Season Ticket Holders, Fox Sports reporter and host Dane Lillingstone is joined by Channel 10 Brisbane sports reporter and cricket tragic James Ingram to preview the second test of the Ashes in Brisbane.


After a stunning opening match in Perth where England blew their chance at victory and Travis Head rescued the Aussies, can England turn it around to level the series in the day/night test at the Gabba?


Australia will be without frontline quicks Pat Cummins and Josh Hazlewood again but Mitchell Starc is coming off career best figures while Travis Head scored the second fastest century in Ashes history. Can England stop them or will it be 2-0 when the lights go out?
