Surprised the big bash is on the same time as the Ashes. On Sky now. I didn’t see any of the start of the ashes.

Until a couple of years ago they didn't play Big Bash games on the same day as Tests. But since they extended the Big Bash to 14 games each they need to play games every day.

I see there is a small gap though, assume this is when the day/night Test is on.
