What turns a routine delivery into folklore? How does one wide ball at the Gabba trigger a generation of English PTSD? And why do the strangest, funniest and most chaotic moments always seem to find their way into this rivalry? In Part Two of our deep dive into Ashes mythology, Clancy & Errol once again sits down with Peter Lalor to revisit a fresh batch of chaos from the vault. From Harmison’s first-ball moonshot that nearly killed second slip, to Stuart MacGill’s 12-wicket fever dream, to Colin Cowdrey waddling out of a Boeing 707 to save England with nothing but a borrowed bat and enormous optimism. Also examined are some of the more questionable cultural artefacts of Ashes lore, including David “Bumble” Lloyd’s broken cock yarn and Michael Slater belting 176 while Alan Mullally put the dog up Narromine's favourite son. It’s another lap through the moments that prove the Ashes is less a cricket series and more a centuries-old soap opera with better screenwriting. This mini-series is brought to you by BWS.

What is an Ashes moment, really? Why do grown men howl like rapid dogs over a ball that lands on a crack? And how did a couple of colonial summer sports turn into one of the world’s most unhinged rivalries? This week, The Betoota Advocate sits down with one of cricket’s most respected storytellers, Peter Lalor, to unpack the triumphs, meltdowns and outright fever dreams that have defined Australia v England, from Thommo rearranging David Lloyd’s tackle, to Scott Boland becoming a deity at the MCG. Join Betoota Talks as Clancy Overell and Errol Parker dig beneath the polite veneer of “Test cricket tradition” and explore the cultural fault lines, national insecurities and generational scars that make the Ashes what they are. A simmering, century-old grudge match wrapped in whites, sunscreen and mild sporting trauma. This mini-series is brought to you by BWS. On your way out?

one of the best podcasts you've done ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I enjoyed this episode, but I’d encourage you to think even bigger. While housing is undeniably critical, it’s part of a broader issue — access to national wealth. The real first priority should be ensuring that the wealth of this country is meaningfully reflected in the lives of all Australians. That includes housing affordability but also fair wages, accessible healthcare, quality education, and stronger public services. Let’s start from the root, not just the branches.

Your guest would be better for the Nationals than the current leader.

Kinda sad I've crossed to the dark side of the border (NSW). Wishing David all the best.

Your guest may not have been a politician for long but she has mastered the non answer.
