Certified Legendary Thread 2nd Ashes Test England v Australia June 28-July 2 1930hrs @ Lords

[ABAB]

Lol McCullum cracking the shits.

This is the same guy who ran out Murali when he left his crease to congratulate Sangakkara on his century.

* off you tool.

Surprise the one who asked him the question didn't call him out on this......

 

[JP Sauce]

If your implying it was racial, that would have already come out. Just because the dark skinned player reacts doesn't mean there's more to it.

Not necessarily. I'm basing my assumption on Uzi's usual demeanor and I think it'd take more than "cheating w***ers!" to get that sort of reaction out of him.

 

[Cyber_punk]

Have to hand it to England. It's much easier to deal with losing when the high horse you've built yourself is immune to results.

They're genuinely embarrassing themselves.

I think the last 35 odd years has broken them. We've won almost all the series since then, 40 odd more matches. It's been pretty one sided.

They have to cope somehow.

 

[Balls In]

These poms are absolute dirt.

 

[IKnowtheDog]

Got the win but it’s amazing the number people both in here and on twitter frustrated with the tactics

 

[ABAB]

Didn't see Khawaja confronting the members in that footage???

 

[Altum Volantes]

I don't think anyone was pushing Lyon out the door FFS.

I thought it was a conspiracy to get him knocked out by one of Ollie Robinson’s 30MPH heat seeking missiles?

 

[frankrizzo]

This series has not been good for my health.

lol nope im getting too old for this shit.

 

[MatthewB]

I don't think the Aussies are going to lose any sleep if they don't have a drink with McCallum

 

[Scorpus]

"We play within the spirit of the game"

 

[FreoGirl]

I heard the word "arseh*le"

that's disgraceful behaviour - what a bunch of decrepid old men

 

[Shifty1]

Suggest we start a petition to cancel AUKUS!

 

[Santana]

Got the win but it’s amazing the number people both in here and on twitter frustrated with the tactics

The tactics can get better though

 

[The hands of stone]

I don’t think it matters what was said. They were centimetres away from players and hurling abuse. Those MCC members get unique access to players, if they don’t show the respect that should come with that then * them.

I would say the members involved will quitely and politely be requested not to attend the Lords test next year

 

[KBLT]

In all seriousness, what is the difference between this and a mankad?

Maybe everyone is for the mankad as well

For a long time, I went back and forth on the mankad.

But then it happened to me.

I wasn't angry at the bowler who did it, I was furious at myself for the lapse in concentration. Captain tore me a new one for it, too. All my fault.

 

[Soggy2112]

Surprise the one who asked him the question didn't call him out on this......

Is McCullum pulling a Kevin Sheedy type move?

Get the media talking about what he’s said rather than the fact that they’re 2-0 down?

 

[Titch3Votes0MooreAA]

A very disrespectful comment from Stokes, in my opinion. Every Australian in the crowd respected him and his side. He didn't tell his fans to show us any respect. Yet he says Captain Pat should have seriously considered "the spirit of the game," and he would have if he were in Cummins's shoes for that Bairstow dismissal. That's the way it works in England. One way for their own, another for everyone else. You wouldn't get that here in Australia. And seeing the English fans in the Long Room call us cheats is one of the worst things I've ever seen in cricket. Very disrespectful.

 

[The Passenger]

I think they are full of s**t honestly.

Easy to say what Stokes said when on the losing side.

They seem more concerned with moral victories than real ones.

 

[Rich the babe Evans]

You don't even know what was said and you want peoples MCC memberships taken off them?

Yeah **** the white privileged campaigners

 

[ptrg]

Didn't see Khawaja confronting the members in that footage???

That’s at a different place. He confronts at a door, this is at the stairs

 

[Scorpus]

I would bet one trillion dollars that Stokes would not have withdrawn his appeal in those circumstances

 

[Nuggetz]

All this uproar about Bairstows dismissal has deflected the attention from England poor bazball tactics which have failed again.

 

[Cmarsh]

Lol McCullum cracking the shits.

This is the same guy who ran out Murali when he left his crease to congratulate Sangakkara on his century.

* off you tool.

Yeah someone post that to redditt to remind all the English posters there of that.

 

[Rich the babe Evans]

Wait baz said he wouldn’t have a drink with the Aussies?

Devastation

 

[greyhound punter]

Agreed - there's a certain level of expectation and dignity expected, especially at Lords. It's supposed to be a 'gentleman's game'. The players weren't carrying on.

It isn't a gentleman's game at all, never has been at all.

Cricket is one of the more crooked sports on the planet - imagine all the spot fixing and the like that takes place in every t20 league around the world.
