The Ashes 2023

nah he was daydreaming while they appealed for LBW
they're hypocrites and the crying is hilarious

Don't see the comparison at all. He set off for a run

 

[McBain]

It isn’t.

Bairstow makes his mark, and thinks the ball is dead.

Marnus leaves the ball and bairstow tries to hit the stumps as a run out part of the action.

They’re different. There’s an assumption and trust amongst the players of when a ball is dead and they went against that.

Bairstow is stupid but it’s the wrong thing to do.

Amazing how Bairstow decides when the ball is dead and not the Umpire.

the hypocrisy of these tory bellends is just glorious

So obviously not the same is it

Was about to let previous bouts of Australian cheating pass as we're told they're rehabilitated. I know technically what they did was gamesmanship- the grey area between competitiveness and cheating, but from now on I will know them as Cricket Auscheatia.

Look if you happy with playing outside the spirit of the game that's fine, just stop trying to justify it...

There’s a trust amongst players of when the ball is dead in these situations.

Bairstow has only himself to blame, but that’s bad from the Aussies.

Morning everyone. Have we got to the bottom of all this yet?

You know, I was watching the match early and thinking you guys are way too nice nowadays to win this. I was right and history wont remember how nice you were. I’d rather win as its what we’re here to do.

Everton could use a big old spoonful of the same medicine.

 

[Connor]

CdG and Bairstow throwing at Labuschange vastly different because they're not the end of the over, therefore the umpire isn't moving to square leg and the ball is dead

 

[McBain]

 

[Charro]

They for Steve Smith?

 

[McBain]

They for Steve Smith?

Let it out C. Theres lots more Cricket to come and the nice guys might win yet.

 

[Walken]

Crawley
Duckett
Pope
Root
Brook
Stokes
Bairstow
Ali
Broad
Wood
Tongue

With the margin of leeway the CA area provided for some passy-agg steam letting off, it's gonna get right warm right quick when the platypus fanciers get cooking on Thursday.

Spirit of the game is just a persons opinion. What’s an absolute fact is that Australia is 2-0 up in an ashes series in England.

Don’t be angry because Australia has a competent wicketkeeper. Be angry about the reckless cricket being played that’s resulted in 2 loses in very winnable matches
