The Final Word Cricket Podcast Is Khawaja done? Are England capable of humility? Our Perth wash-up
The Ashes Daily 2025, 1st Test wash-up: A two-day Test brings many questions to consider. For the winners, is Travis Head up top for Brisbane after his all-timer? If so, what does that mean for Usman Khawaja's career? And for the defeated, are they capable of the introspection many believe they require to evolve into a fighting force on lively pitches? Bharat Sundaresan joins Adam to ponder this, recorded alongside the blameless Perth pitch.
