Pup breaks down everything from the fiery First Test in Perth, dissecting Australia’s early dominance and where England fell completely off the pace. From Mitchell Starc’s impact to Travis Head’s match-defining moment, Clarke dives deep into what worked and what worried him.

We look at England’s shaky middle order with Ollie Pope and Harry Brook under pressure, plus why Joe Root’s approach raised eyebrows. Clarke also unpacks Scotty Boland’s tough outing and his “swim between the flags” theory.

There’s chat about batting through pain, media speculation, captaincy questions, and why Clarke believes England simply can’t win the Ashes from here.And to cap it off, we hit TAB predictions including Steve Smith’s chance at a ton, and Clarke reveals his picks for Brisbane.
