I would bet one trillion dollars that Stokes would not have withdrawn his appeal in those circumstances

100%! what about all of Broad's lame challenges?

 

[CrowBloke]

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.

What did McCullum have to say?

 

[britwits]

Will the crying pommies call this against the spirit of the game too?

 

[Titch3Votes0MooreAA]

Where's A Pom gone? I haven't seen them here in hours. I hope they are alright.

 

[The Falcon Strike]

Terrific win - worst of the conditions by far, lose arguably our most important cricketer and the key difference between the two teams

Walk into headingley 2-0 up

Ashes cricket is only competitive when it’s in England when they have home conditions

It’s a walkover here

Gulf in talent between two teams

 

[philreich]

Putting aside all the negativity (don't get me wrong - I love beating the Poms as much as anybody), I'm loving the combative, in your face stuff in this series. Pretty soon, we'll be back to flogging the West Indies inside 3 days: give me this stuff any day!!!

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Sook it up pricks.
Yesterday it was all thats the rules.
Today its thats not the spirit of cricket.
Turn it up

Yep

Picking and choosing

Stuart "didn't walk when he nicked it to slip" Broad was outraged and carried on out on the field.

It's just so beautiful that the Cricket Gods squared things off so quickly after Starc's catch.

 

[Harrison Bergeron]

Kiwi beers like Speights, Tui, DB or Steinlager.

 

[Soggy2112]

My point was people are going of the Twitter footages all that was said was "cheats". How do they know what was said to Khawaja to get him to respond like that?

He did say in the interview that some accusations were being thrown around, not exactly sure what he meant by that.

 

[Doodlesweaver]

Stokes going on about the spirit of cricket when he's got that giant empty vessel Broad in the team

The self-righteousness in losing sportspeople is always good for a laugh. Take my hat off to Stokes though for making a game of it. Well done him!

Brits are so sanctimonious when they lose.

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.

De Grandhomme run out first ball

It was only last years that a similar incident occurred that could question Englands supposed superior moral compass.

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

Maybe, I'd say more likely they will be 'asked' not to enter the long room for <insert duration here>

Except when he was captain and it happened to Colin DeGrandHolme he didn't did he.

You could probably fill the Ashes urn with all the tears from the English after losing the match

You could fill Sydney Harbour and make it twice as salty.

 

[DaTBird187]

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

 

[barrackers]

A Pom are you still happy and adamant that the rules need be applied to the letter over the spirit of the game?

 

[Andrew Mc]

"...you can't reward stupidity,"

This needs to be every Aussies response to the "would you withdraw the appeal?" question from now on.

Love of cricket plus hatred of Poms brings us and India together

 

[Outshined]

****, it's glorious there are multiple examples of current England players/coaches doing the exact same thing as Carey.

Makes that salty English whinging all the more delicious.

 

[mouncey2franklin]

Worrying about the "spirit of the game" is loser speak

Winners do whatever it takes within the rules of the game

England once used lollies to manipulate the ball in order to win.

Their fans loved them for it.

South Africa once used lollies to manipulate the ball in order to win.

Their fans loved them for it.

Australia used some sandpaper to manipulate the ball and their 'fans' wanted them banned for life.
