Ashes Diaries: Episode 11 - Game Day

After 100 days of build-up, planning, sacrifice and anticipation… it’s finally here. The Ashes.

Mitch Starc and Alex Carey take you straight to Perth and inside Game Day like never before. From the restless night before, to the moment to the first ball, to the quiet recovery after a bruising Day 1, this is the unfiltered mindset and minute-by-minute rhythm of two professionals living one of the biggest days in recent Australian cricket.

And then comes that fast bowling. Mitch Starc unleashes one of the most devastating fast-bowling performances in recent memory. It was a display that will sit proudly in Ashes folklore for years to come. Beside him every step of the way is Alex Carey, providing the calm, sharp, steady presence that helps drive Australia’s perfect start to the series. 

It’s raw. It’s revealing. It’s everything we love about sport, pressure, preparation, passion, delivered with unparalleled access.

And to conclude the series, another huge thanks to Kez and Starcy for opening the doors and bringing us along for the ride.
