Ducks and poncho-sellers were the only winners in Manchester, as rain washed out the final day of the fourth Test and ensured Australia would retain the Ashes. England were in charge but could not get back on the field as their attempt to become only the second team in history to successfully come back from 2-0 down fell flat. In this week's pod, Alan Gardner, Andrew McGlashan and Vithushan Ehantharajah reflect on an Old Trafford anticlimax, despite the best efforts of Chris Woakes, Zak Crawley and Jonny Bairstow, and look ahead to what's left to play for at The Oval.
