We have Matt Roller reporting from Perth, a Test match years in the making which was over in the blink of an eye, Lawrence Booth hails the brilliance of Mitchell Starc in his role as Australia's leading man, John Stern traces the inglorious history of the Ashes war of words, and, to cheer up disheartened England fans, Ben Gardner ranks Joe Root's 40 Test hundreds after his ton at the Gabba.
Elsewhere, we have pieces celebrating the life of Robin Smith from Jon Hotten and Angus Fraser, who describes his former teammate as a "magnificent player and complicated man", Jo Harman-McGowan examines what's gone wrong for India after their whitewash on home soil to South Africa, and Abhishek Mukherjee speaks to Shafali Verma, the star of the Women's World Cup final.
