3rd Ashes Test England v Australia July 6-10 1930hrs @ Headingley

What of Bairstow whose keeping is below par, for Leeds?

If they retain him, he could open with Crawley in a masterstroke, enabling Woakes and Foakes to join Stokes et al to go for broke and have a poke.
Personally, I hope they choke, and croak, the whingeing Pommie jokes.

Guess the English bowlers also were in on the Mint-gate.

Well thats one case where whole team was all in on it they admitted they worked out as a team which mints worked best for ball tampering and rather than being attacked they got parades, poms really do live in their own moral universe where what you do it less important than who you are.

Possibly.

Who am I to question Pat 'I didn't know about the sandpaper, pinky swear, I'll just let my teammates take all the blame' Cumdog's integrity?

And who am I to question Mike Atherton filling his pockets with sand in 1994 to simply "dry his hands"?

 

[Nel_cats]

It is a both problem. Bairstow was an idiot, the wording of the rules is sh*t and could be easily fixed, and Cummo was a bit of a dog, as other captains in the same situation would have let him off.

this is funny reading given I just watched Strauss say himself that he wouldn't have withdrawn the appeal and Eoin Morgan saying he didn't have any problem with it

 

[Freofalcon]

I’ve been listening and watching any and all podcasts, highlight shows etc. When you have a lot of high profile ex English cricketers saying they don’t see anything wrong with the dismissal, Bairstow should have shown more awareness and they wouldn’t have have called him back if they were in that position, all those whinging pommy pissheads in the crowd and long room can EABOD.

 

[10Dulkar]

They have to be made up surely? Just like these that went to air on a live news broadcast.

Not any captains decision to 'Let Him Off' anyway. Umpires call . There were a few appeals. He 'walked' anyway lol.

Hence, divided English supporters, this is what makes it even more hilarious.....they are fighting between themselves lol.

The real genius from Cummins and Carey was leaving that Mars Bar on a good length.

Way too tempting for the big boy.

 

[Stax on the mill]

Aussie batsmen would probably be well advised to dispense with the common courtesy of picking up the ball and tossing it to fielding team if the ball stops near them.

I remember Andrew Hilditch being given out “handled the ball” against Pakistan in 1979, when he lobbed the ball to Sarfraz, the bowler. Sarfraz immediately appealed, and Hilditch was given out.

Apparently this was in retaliation for Allan Hurst “mankading” one of the Pakistani players earlier on in the same test. I would hate to see the same thing happen to one of our players.

 

[Neese]

It is not 100% certain. The rule says nothing about a wicket keeper 'immediately' throwing at the stumps. What is immediate? Objectively, how much time does Carey have before immediate becomes non-immediate?

*Yawn

 

[DaRick]

Wow, it's like they were born to be pretentious twats.

Yeah, can definitely see Broad appealing for this sort of shit.

Bazball was meant to do us in, now they're staring down the barrel of the worst home result in a generation. It's tetchy over there.

The English are really coming across as twats.

 

[Jamurp]

Cummins has been fantastic in the media so far this series as captain, think the grade cricketer have said how low-key alpha he is, you can really see it, so good.

 

[Cataholic]

Yeah, can definitely see Broad appealing for this sort of s**t.

Petulant child.

He's the last one who can preach the 'spirit of the game' after refusing to walk on a blatant edge to slip years ago.

Hypocritical twats at that.

I would love to actually give them an opportunity. Maybe a Starc or Cummins and see if they are really willing to withdraw it

He doesn’t appeal

 

[Howard Littlejohn]

We won’t go into a test without a spinner. Overrates are an issue first and foremost. There’s an old saying “if it seams it spins”.

I don't think Australia would do so either, but if there is a deck that traditionally you might - Headingley could be it (or Trent Bridge). From memory it is usually a seaming deck, and I would think the spinners with most success would be the quicker ones. Kumble, Underwood, so forth.

*checks stats, doesn't quite check out on the faster spinners front

 

[hawkman]

Broad still whinging
