Report: Have A Sook You Bloated Old Pommie *head​

A report commissioned by the nation’s peak scientific body has found that the bloated old Pommie heads in the Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) that abused members of the Australian cricket team in their fancy room can have a ****** sook.

Earlier this morning local time, the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) published the short study which has since been ironically criticised by the MCC as being “classless”.

Speaking to The Advocate today, Professor Glen Rutman from the CSIRO explained that Alex Carey did nothing wrong and poor man’s James Graham needs to learn to ground his bat before he goes for a stroll up the wicket.

“Those old Poms in the long room at Lords, where do I even start,” he said.

“Imagine getting abused by some red-faced old goon that’s one big sneeze away from a stroke. They can go have a sook. It’s not like England are the moral high ground when it comes to everything. Stuart Broad embraces being called a cheat. If anyone on that team has earned the right to sling mud, it’s that Ben Stokes. He just said it wasn’t on but who cares,”

“He’s a Kiwi Gemini. He is a sook but he’s a tough sook. Mate, the Poms can learn a thing or two from Big Ben. Without him, they’d just be a Tongue and a Root.”

The Advocate reached out to the MCC for comment but they’re sleeping.

More to come.
"Without him, they’d just be a Tongue and a Root.” 😂 😂 😂
 
No they are not. They are incredibly dumb.

In the rules, the only definition of a finally settled ball is that it is whatever the umpire says is a finally settled ball. That's it. Purely subjective by the ump.

But the rules also state that whether or not the umpire perceives a dead ball also depends on him perceiving that both teams have indicated that they no longer consider the ball to be in play. So they in fact actually do decide between them what consitutes a dead ball prior to the umpire. And then whether the ump actually signals a dead ball is left optional.

That's why the idea of sporting conventions exist around this rule as written - because it's stupid. It requires three inter-subjective perceptions from three parties where each determines whether the ball is or isn't in play.

And it leads to this exact clusterf*ck of a situation.
I don’t see how the umpire calling over is subjective.
Wasn’t a cluster**** it was a wicket.
The correct call.
Pommies attempted the same thing. Missed.
 
Mwahahaha, I love the English getting fired up over this. I have absolutely no sympathy for these pathetic poms. The standard of umpiring and play in this series has been diabolical. Multiple times the TV umpire has ignored certain version, preferred strange interpretations against Australia or - in the Starc case - just created entirely antithetical analysis of convoluted laws all favouring England. On top of that, England were allowed to bowl almost 6 bouncers an over and were never called up. There is something fishy going on in the TV umpiring, broadcasting and umpiring of these games generally and we are pushing on through that adversity and winning.

Bairstow got out because he's stupid. All the honey between his fat ears has obviously clouded his judgment and made him forget 20 years of cricket experience. He left his crease for no reason, immediately without checking where the ball ended up and got punished for it. Sharpen up Jonny you bum.
One thing’s for sure, he won’t go out that way again.
Maybe…

Damn - what a shame. Five days of rain would result in Australia retaining the little urn :).
Not what's been reported here Phil.:tearsofjoy::tearsofjoy::tearsofjoy:


 
The sooking from the poms is delicious.
And they are fighting amongst themselves which make it even funnier, even Atherton said he was getting a tongue lashing because he said he saw nothing wrong with the Bairstow dismissal and the comments on BBC are split with England supporters saying it's part of the game and Bairstow was just stupid and those saying "cheats" lol.

The positive for Green is he's still contributing, got 2 wickets (should have had 3 no ball in the first innings), had a poor test with the bat that's all.
Green is still green (xcuse the pun) a developing player surrounded by good experience, I too am exasperated at his bowling sometimes, but it i s just inexperience, in 2-3 years he will be a weapon. Cummins throwing him to the lions ( stokes) and asking him to bowl short long hops in the hope of getting lucky ended up in 24 runs in one over... no thought to dropping in a length ball, no words from Cummins coming over to him and giving advice .. he was liek a deer in the headlights, and not really his fault - Captain should have assede the situation and not bowledhim, particlularly from that end. He does need to work on playing spin though when batting.
