So we're what, 20-odd overs from the new ball? Would want to either get Stokes or get a lot tighter or it'll be over by then.

You mock some kiwi captain doing it then glorify cummins not calling a player back when the ball really is dead its pedantic because an umpire doesn't call dead ball every ball . And his bat was grounded then he walked for a midfield chat . It's crap you said it was crap for the kiwi just accept it's a crap way to win and they deserve no respect and they aren't getting any at Lords

Me? Where did I mock it? Just pointing out the first double standards.

Good on the crowd at Lord's, current care less. Their naive and don't understand the rules. Run a long champ

I don't like it and it's never ok buddy

Be that as it may, it was still a pretty stupid thing that Bairstow did.

I am not saying that I like it but, he didn't ground his bat and just strolled off down the wicket with no regard for the fielding side, didn't respect the rules of the game and paid the price.

England got the advantage of the "Letter of the Law", interpretation with Duckett and the non catch last night and then got penalised by those same laws, with the run out today, you cant have it both ways.

Stokes being a real good sport to the Aussies trying to make sure we don't get stuck up late tonight

Enjoy your little win champ sleep well

Forget Lords, the real battle is online.

He champed me first . I only buddy'd him

That's an odd way of saying you don't know the rules.

Sorry sporto.

And then they don't bring the field up. For Christ's sake it's Headingly all over again

FFS Smith

has a habit of taking the blinders but miffing the simpler ones.

 

[UseR2006]

We needed smith to take that damnit.

Wonder if Langer is getting some perverse pleasure out of this. You just know that man holds grudges.

Broad would be at home on a russian troll farm

At least Langer might have learnt from the experience. Clearly these fellas havent.

 

[Feeling Groovy]

Our bowlers are idiots

The bin wherever he's watching must be terrified

This is poor

Hazelwood the number 3 T20 bowler in the world and is bowling this shit. Fair dinkum

 

[DanWCE]

Give me Starc and let's get it over with one way or the other. Nah you know what? Give me Mitch Johnson

 

[BrotherDodge]

I didn't like the Bairstow wicket myself, but hey, we did get screwed on the Starc catch so it all evens out. Pedantic interpretation of the rules giveth, pedantic interpretation of the rules taketh away.

 

[UseR2006]

Just stupidity from the bowlers. same shit every over.
