In elite sport, every number tells a story — and in this episode, we dive deep into the digits behind the Australian cricket team’s Ashes campaign.

From GPS trackers to gym stats, Mitch Starc reveals the staggering distances covered by a fast bowler and the strength needed to keep his body firing at 35. Alex Carey takes us behind the stumps for a day in the field — covering 15km on his feet, with explosive bursts and endless squats to stay sharp for every delivery.

Then, a huge moment — Starc drops a major announcement, opening up about the emotional phone call to coach Andrew McDonald as he retires from T20 international cricket. It’s raw, honest, modest and quintessentially Mitch.

Plus, a little footy chat as finals fever takes hold — Alex’s Crows take on the Magpies, while Mitch’s Hawks are set to clash with Howie’s boys.

A mix of emotion, endurance, and elite insight — A Numbers Game lifts the lid on what it really takes to play at the highest level.
