Satrical sports journalists TippyTappy Sports, aka Damien Timms and Backseat Rebel's Nikos Andronicos, have been given carte blanche by Optus Sport to get stuck into the upcoming Ashes cricket series from more angles than Mitchell Starc with the new ball.

TippyTappy content for the series (produced by Backseat Rebel) includes STRAIGHT TALK (a rolling series of muckraking interviews with the current Australian squad) and GREAT MOMENTS IN ASHES HISTORY (an archival/interview documentary series that takes the piss out of said great moments as hard as humanly possible).

All the TTS output will be viewable on Optus Sport's Ashes Cricket platform throughout the Australian summer.
