Just seen the controversial decision - my opinions are Bairstow was a complete fool as he should have tapped his bat down & the Aussie keeper was too, but rules are rules - but in the spirit of the game the captain should have just reversed it & won the game in the correct manner...as you say ill feelings will now carry on for the rest of the series ..... I always waited for the umpire to shout over TBH they both had a bad game imo .....
The rule of only two bouncers per over ?
The umpires ignored that rule for both sides ? why?
The game was lost for us at 180-1 in all honesty - that's cricket for you - the Australia bowling attack is way better than ours...... 80 mile an hour on flat pitches is not fast enough.......they bowl at 90 miles - big difference.....
We through the game away at 180 for one with the usual collapse ... it was lost then, not today imo .....

Brendon McCullum apologises to Kumar Sangakkara for a controversial run out of Muttiah Muralitharan in 2006
Back in December 2006, during the second innings of the first Test between New Zealand and Sri Lanka at Christchurch, McCullum was involved in a very controversial run out of Muralitharan that led to a big stir in the cricket fraternity.
remember that, theres no winners in though situations. I don't blame Carey as you do things in the moment but ultimately it just isn't great for the sport. I remember NZ crying about something Collingwood did not long after with a run out and thinking hang on after what you did to Murali. I think the umpires getting together with the fielding skipper and saying is this what you want might help.

I always enjoy stumbling across a new thread Dave has set his stool in, and push the follow button immediately.

And good that he did, but he still did it. Hopefully Cummins will do likewise and realise the error of not calling the player back. Carey wouldn't have the brainless to understand the scope of what he's done.Brendon McCullum apologises to Kumar Sangakkara for a controversial run out of Muttiah Muralitharan in 2006

Mccullum was very young at the time to be fair to him, and as said had the grace to apologise. I think Cummins is a decent human being, if he can get the links of Warner and Smith out of his ear we might hear something.

Chapelli is an absolute wounder.

To be fair to Smith I think it really affected him. He didn't seem to celebrate much, dropped Stokes and was first to commiserate when he was out

He just knows he's on the telly. Don't like him one bit.
As a cricketer, he would make a good binman lol
Yes, I would complement a player who is out, & you now know you have won the game .....
The coach.
Coach isn't on the field of play. Stokes has already said he wouldn't have.
You never can tell which thread it will be, but it never ceases to be internet gold.
