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

Broad still whinging

But Bairstow didn’t ground his bat you ****ing dolt.

He walked out of his crease AFTER Carey released the ball because he’s a vacuous simpleton.

Brad Hogg's take

 

[Ishmael_]

That's three clutch fourth innings Test match wins in a row, against the best in the world. The two Ashes Tests in particular being all time nail-biters.

Mental giants this Australian team. Polite, decent, likeable - sure, but also ruthless and clutch.

On their way (and pretty damn close) to becoming our first 'Great Australian Team' since Waugh/Ponting.

And how bloody fun! I'm so fat on English Schadenfreude that I'm at risk of both various heart conditions and being called up to keep their wicket.

It never ceases to amaze me what people will accept to back up your side. And that goes both ways too. The carry on about the Starc non catch was equally absurd.

 

[Freofalcon]

You can’t tell me that if Bairstow’s similar attempt was successful, that plumb ginger wouldn’t have been waddling around the ground like a fat kid chasing an ice cream truck.

 

[frankrizzo]

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.

so this is ok? he isnt attemting a run or even attempting to leave crease and unlike carey who caught and threw ball in one motion this is foakes waiting for long time before removing the bails so is that ok or not?

"HE MADE A MISTAKE!" Steve Harmison SLAMS Jonny Bairstow for LEAVING his crease

"HE MADE A MISTAKE!" Steve Harmison SLAMS Jonny Bairstow for LEAVING his crease

Not only leaving his crease but didn't even bother to tap his bat behind his crease, it's like the rules of cricket doesn't apply to him so he should be out lol.

That seems right. Who would you have: Neser or Boland?

Neser. I see Boland as the bowler the Aussie pace bowler the English will really target.

This could be the most spiteful Ashes test in a long, long time. Maybe not as spiteful as the Adelaide test in the 1932-33 series but you could certainly cut the tension at Leeds with a knife.

Up there in 2005 when Ponting was run out when England use a specialist fielder and exploited the sub rule....."spirit of the game".

probably not this current aussie side understand when they being set up, broad was baiting our lot to explode and make themselves look like the bad guys they just laughed it off and got on with game same with cummins in press gave them nothing they could use for click bait.

 

[010203]

Having a win at all costs attitude means nothing to their coach though. He'd rather win the moral Ashes. That quote from Broad was during a period where England won 3 Ashes series in a row. Most of this England side is mentally weak and not ruthless enough when push comes to shove.

 

[RandB]

Still ..waiting for a shooting stars meme of Bairstow wandering down the pitch...

 

[JP Sauce]

I'm worried, it's gonna be hard to win the series from here.

England won with entertainment at Edgbaston and spirit of the game at Lord's... what will they come at us with in Headingley? Their strategy is impossible to plan for.

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

I want the footage of Bairstow on a loop with this song playing…

 

[Andrew Mc]

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.

The wording is very clear and has zero reason to be fixed. It also comes down to an entitled dolt who thought he could just wander down the pitch while the game was still in play.

 

[evolved2]

Johnny Bairstow became one of my heroes after carrying that kid protester off the ground. I feel bad about the way we won the game, but not really.

They'll go hard in the 3rd test. I'll bet on the Poms if I can get decent odds.

 

[Art Vandelay_]

OLIVER HOLT: Pat Cummins was too fearful to do the right thing and withdraw Australia's appeal to dismiss Jonny Bairstow. He did not look like a leader. He looked PATHETIC

Love the salt

Have never taken Holt seriously on anything. Chelsea fan who cannot provide level-headed analysis on Spurs if his life depended on it.
Appears this extends to cricket. Philistine.

 

[Taylor]

I think England will be spooked after their efforts at progressing the game along opened the door to them losing both tests and might instead bat too long on a pitch that is flat.

 

[rank and file]

According to the Cricket, Et Cetera, WG Grace ran out Sammy Jones in the same manner as Bairstows dismissal.

Yup, and the Poms are wasting all their energy on it. They'll be mentally exhausted come Thursday.
