The Ashes 2023

[Walken]

Oh I know, and it's completely unacceptable the way the media rats go after anyone in an England uniform who dare let the Empire down.

Agnew will be gutted he can't single out Stokes, lets not forget their campaign against Archer before the 2019 world cup.

If you follow cricket which you said you don't you'll realise the fault is with Australia, but more so the grey area of sportsmanship in the professional era, and to what level it is applied.

AFAIK the feller just had to down his bat in the crease to make that situation not happen. To blame his opponent for running him out is absurd. I think you and the other England cricket fans know it too.

I'm not actually an English cricket fan, although I've enjoyed their short lived Renaissance. I've played cricket for 20 years, of a very high standard, would I run him out? Perhaps in the moment. Would I recall him? Absolutely. Thus is the biggest scene in the cricketing world though, where winning can mean everything, and the grey areas of sportsmanship are becoming murkier.

England have committed similar in the past, so it's hard to be sympathetic to them, but I sympathetic to the place of the game in the modern era.

They play a style of cricket literally named after their coach, it's fair to bring up.

Again, he's not captain - therefore has no influence in on-field decisions.

It's simply a style of play, positive foot forward red ball cricket.

Hopefully a few lifetime bans handed out for the long room shenanigans if what I’ve heard happened is accurate

No comment. However the 3 involved likely won’t be getting back into lords - ever - so you can judge the seriousness of it yourself.

I heard no one was exited, so no harm no foul. I got that from TMS and BBC, can you name your sources please?

The members have been suspended pending an investigation. Hardly a case of no harm no foul as you put it.

I’m not a cricket fan at all, but it’s a competitive sport and not a jolly afternoon in the sun. It’s a shame that the gentleman’s approach to the game seems to have gone away but the umpires had little choice really…..
