Glenn McGrath, Jason Gillespie, and Damien Fleming break down Mitchell Starc's brutal 10/51 match haul (6/12 & 4/39) that bowled Australia to an innings-and-51-run win over Bangladesh inside two days, levelling the series 1-1 after the Darwin loss. The trio dig into Starc's twin spells, Pat Cummins' support act (3/25 & 3/10), Shoriful Islam's stunning 7/48 counterpunch, and 18 wickets falling on day one alone at Mackay's Test debut. Bangladesh were bowled out for 64 and 95 — their first sub-100 double in a Test — while Cam Green's 67 was the lone bright spot for the hosts. 0:00 Intro 4:00 Test Match Review 40:00 England vs Pakistan 44:00 Give Me A Spell Learn more about your ad choices.

Glenn McGrath, Jason Gillespie and Damien Fleming react to Australia getting smashed by nine wickets in Darwin — a first Bangladesh Test win on Aussie soil, after they'd been bowled out for 54 in the tour game a week earlier. The Cartel unpacks how it happened: Hasan Mahmud and Mehidy Miraz ripping through the top order, a Marrara pitch that turned the "world's best attack" into passengers, and a middle order that folded when it mattered. No sugar-coating — three blokes who've bowled sides out for a living tell you exactly where it went wrong, and what Australia need to fix before Mackay. 0:00 Intro 3:00 Test Review 13:00 Positives 24:00 Bangladesh 28:30 Top End Cricket Learn more about your ad choices.
