Another record-breaking week for Wicky & an Ashes preview on the cricket podcast

In last week's newsletter , we said:
We've enjoyed some incredible success with our rugby league content recently & have big hopes that Origin will build on that recent success at Wicky to break still more records.
We're really pleased to announce that we've made good on our hopes - State of Origin Game 3 was a record-breaking day at Wicky! Pair that with a strong response to Wicky Premium in its first month and we've got the wind in our sails - and aiming to build on this surge of momentum to finish the NRL season strongly.
On the cricket side of things, this week's episode of Wicky's Cricket Podcast recaps the women's Ashes after Australia retained the urn with a close win in the second ODI & runs down the key players and strategies ahead of the 4th Test of the men's Ashes at Manchester.
Read on to catch up with all things Wicky from the past week.
Can England make it 2-2 at Old Trafford? This week's podcast predicts who might help them go level
As England and Australia head to Manchester with the Ashes perfectly placed, episode 8 of Wicky's Cricket Podcast covers everything you need to know for the fourth Test - from England's main threats to how, with a nod to recent games at this venue, the conditions & weather will shape the on-field action.
We explain why Australia must watch out for Chris Woakes & Stuart Broad, how England's batting depth might give them the edge here as it did at Leeds, and why both sides must look to their middle and lower-middle orders for runs.
With the Australian women narrowly clinching the second ODI and retaining the Ashes, in the last leg of this week's show, we take stock of England's mighty effort in the multi-format series to wrench back the urn from the world champions.
We also reflect on Australia's depth of talent and return to the only Test of this series as the deciding factor in its eventual outcome; despite England's strong response to an early setback, should 'nearly' be good enough for them?

We had yet another record-breaking State of Origin day during Game 3
Origin days are always exciting at Wicky - during Game 1 on May 31, as we announced at the time , we crossed 1,000 daily users on our website for the first time ever.
This time, we did even better - Game 3 on 12 July, just over a week ago, set a new record for daily users on our website with 1,049 - 41 more than our previous record of 1,008.
That's not all - it's also been one month since the launch of Wicky Premium and the early response has been excellent, with the first four weeks seeing 45 subscribers signing up. We're already 80% of the way to the cap for our upper subscription tier announced at time of launch.
Our Discord community currently stands at over 3,100 users and we're aiming to build on this momentum to finish the NRL season extremely strongly, growing our community and breaking more records.
The 2023 season isn't done yet and neither are we.
