Atrocious really. Try something different. Just waiting to lose

That is it. Just waiting for Stokes to throw it away rather than trying to get him out.

 

[Johnny Dalmas]

Well thank God he finally made the mistake!

Aussies got caught up in the emotion. Once they slowed it down and made it hard for him ti score the feel changed. Should have done it earlier but easy fir me to say from my couch

It's cute

It's even better to get their hopes up then crush them haha, especially the w***ers in the long room

The Marylebone geriatrics

Yep, was funny watching them mouth off and will now head home all salty

 

[King Huskii]

Get green off

 

[gaskin]

Take the new ball you clowns.

 

[gaskin]

They didn't half make that harder than it needed to be.

 

[Nodgey]

It’s an inevitable England win now. Pathetic bowling on day 5.

I’m taking all the credit for the win

And the salt from the Poms is superb.

Inevitable you say. Hope you didn’t put money on it.

 

[DQ 4EVER]

Nah he has to go back to his crease

You can't just walk away because you expect the ball is dead.

His arrogance got him out

Those handsome fellas are often arrogant

Bairstow's complete lack of awareness is up there with getting run out because you didn't slide your bat. He should be embarrassed that it happened in the first place and doubly embarrassed that he let it blow up. Quadrupole so because he trys it often when he keeps.

So now waiting for the next limited over game at Lords where Stokes is batting with a tailender.

They need 20 to win off the last over. The tailender is on strike. England desperately need Stokes on strike.

The tailender plays and misses at the first ball. The ball goes through to the keeper.

The tailender starts running through for a stolen bye so Stokes can get on strike.

Stokes would immediately send him back right??? Because we should all consider the ball dead and its against the spirit of the game.

And the Lords crowd would start booing because, of course, once the ball has got through to the keeper they all knew it was immediately dead, right?

What?!? No?

Oh sorry forgot the Poms are just a bunch of hypocritical w***ers.

Was thinking this actually. By their logic every bye ever stolen to the keeper in this fashion is against the rules and/or spirit of the game.

If it was a spin bowler it wouldn't be controversial at all. Stumping the batsman wandering from the crease is always out.

The hypocrisy is mind blowing considering he tried to do the exact same thing to Labs a few days ago, the difference being Labs is switched on and wasn't out of his crease (plus Bairstow missed of course).

Also delicious salty tears from the faux nice guy coach, who has previously run out Murali for wandering out of his ground to celebrate his teammate's century, and has also done this exact same thing as Carey to get Paul Collingwood in a ODI. Which was a payback for Collingwood obstructing a NZ batter and then running him out, something the old English would never do as they play in the spirit of the game.

Disgraceful behaviour from the old farts in the long room as well. Going troppo over correct enforcement of the rules their own MCC have written. Can guarantee someone has delivered a racist taunt at Khawaja to make him react the way he did, as he is the calmest person on the planet.

Hopefully 5-0 is incoming.

 

[Snuffaluphagus]

Anyone that plays club cricket knows that keeper throw happens every weekend and happens multiple times if the keeper is annoying enough. Bairstow was an idiot. Carey threw it straight away, it’s not his fault Bairstow was a moron.

 

[im_a_lazy_sod]

The poms would not shut up about "letter of the law" for Starc's almost catch and now won't shut-up about "within the spirit of the game" for the Bairstow wicket. Pick one and stick with it. Bunch of sore losers

 

[Joao]

I can't be bothered linking it, but they're whinging about the spirit of the game and yet if you read the MCC section of that, it says (paraphrasing) to lose gracefully...

 

[Purpletown]

Bloody funny really, they come out all aggressive with Robinson trash talking prior to the first test. Fail to back it up on the field and go one down.

Have been outplayed for 75% of this test and resort to spirit of the game jibes while their own members carry on like spoiled brats towards the Australian team within the long room. Hypocritical snobs.

Perhaps it's time for the poms to let their cricket do the talking.

Before you take the moral high ground, you better be sure there aren't any skeletons in the closet.

Brendon McCullum revisited the scene of his alleged crime against cricket yesterday, reiterating he had no regrets about his controversial running out of Sri Lanka's Muttiah Muralitharan during the first test on Saturday.

The New Zealand wicketkeeper's dismissal of the careless tailender - who left his crease to congratulate Kumar Sangakkara on scoring a century at Jade Stadium while the ball was still in play - has been either pilloried or praised.

McCullum, who trained at the ground yesterday, said he was shocked by the adverse reaction following what was a legitimate dismissal to end Sri Lanka's second innings.

"I didn't expect the repercussions from it, it's been pretty hard to swallow," he said. "I'm a proud New Zealander, playing for my country, I've done nothing wrong."

Had Muralitharan, the last Sri Lankan wicket to go, waited for the outfield return to strike McCullum's gloves before setting off to embrace his partner, there would have been no dramas.

But Muralitharan's folly and McCullum's instant response sparked an ethical debate about whether the Black Cap had acted in the spirit of the game.

McCullum and his teammates were steadfast yesterday, saying they were within their rights to execute a dismissal which left Sangakkara stranded on 100 - and New Zealand needing 119 to win, a target they achieved with the loss of five wickets.

"I never thought it the wrong thing to do, the rules are there and you can't reward stupidity," McCullum said.

 

[Snuffaluphagus]

Before you take the moral high ground, you better be sure there aren't any skeletons in the closet.

Reddit had like 3 other examples of McCollum trying / doing it through his career as well.

Also incredible that England doing their best to emulate one of the most anti "spirit of crickets" tactics in the history of the game with nothing but short pitch bowling for almost a day is fine as well. Hypocritical w***ers
