Plus, Australia's sensational bounceback in Adelaide: the irresistible Mitchell Starc, the force of nature that is Travis Head, and whether Ashwin's LBW review was the worst of all time.
Finally, we roll back the years and reminisce about how the podcast started - with the help of some quite extraordinary press cuttings.
