Certified Legendary Thread 2nd Ashes Test England v Australia June 28-July 2 1930hrs @ Lords

[Westy Bogan]

Update?

Poms out to $11 with the bookies

 

[FreoRicci]

Oh the tabloids are going to label us cheaters and Barmy Army going to sing about it all series now…

 

[Hawks1994]

Is it no different than a keeper waiting a split second for the batsman to lift his foot befire whipping the bails off? For me, not really. It's a clever opportunistic move

 

[pattymalone00]

lol the poms are having a massive whinge over that runout on Twitter great content hahaha

Not that anyone can see

 

[FreoGirl]

England been cheating all game, Starc catch, sub fielder for bowlers, 5 bouncer overs

Australia does 1 thing the world ends

yep, Broad deserves these bouncers

 

[ciggybuttbrain]

According to law 69.1.a.vii if you interpret the wording correctly, it reads as follows:

**** OFF campaigner, YOU'RE OUT!

 

[manureid]

Not a great look just like not giving the starc catch. However, you want to play to the letter of the law then you cannot have it only applied to one dismissal.

 

[britwits]

That makes up for the Starc catch

Hopefully, it cost us 33 runs though.

Lord's must have opened early for lunch.

The ball just needs to be considered dead. Whether first ball of over or last. It clearly wasn’t. Carey released it as soon as he took it. Fat boy was asleep

Tell it walking Bairstow ya fat cnut

 

[damicky]

Better short pitched bowling

 

[darcytiger]

20.1.2 The ball shall be considered to be dead when it is clear to the bowler’s end umpire that the fielding side and both batters at the wicket have ceased to regard it as in play.

20.3 Call of Over or Time

Neither the call of Over (see Law 17.4), nor the call of Time (see Law 12.2) is to be made until the ball is dead, either under 20.1 or under 20.4

For those playing at home

 

[worbod]

Why didn't the square leg umpire give Bairstow out straight away? Surely he knows the rules? Bairstow was clearly out of his crease when the wicket was broken.

 

[Taylor]

He threw it back instantly. It is exactly the same as a stumping. You don't leave your crease. He should have been looking at the keeper. Not once was the ball dead.

When Carey threw the ball he was still in his crease, he walked out of it with the ball in motion.

Just like he did half the over prior.

Arrogant.

 

[RandB]

Silly from Bairstow but unsportsmanlike to appeal for that.

Same old Aussies always cheating.

If it was the other way around you'd be laughing your arse off.

Genuine brain fade by Bairstow.

 

[HTPunter]

Remember it’s TEST cricket and part of the test is concentrating and focusing at all times.

Bairstow didn’t, Carey did.

 

[freo_leo29]

Stokes will go god mode now

 

[JP Sauce]

"It's better cricket when it's length" from Broad, like they didn't bowl 50 straight overs of bouncers yesterday.

 

[10Dulkar]

The irony of Broad saying "it's better cricket when it's length" the way England bowled!

 

[The King!]

yeah basically a fast bowler stumping

 

[Kennedy Parker]

England benefits from a technicality yesterday then what's good for the goose is good for the gander.

Perfectly happy for us to call Bairstow back if they agree to deduct the extra runs Duckett scored from their total.

They hate us because they ain't us.

And we know what a stickler for the rules those English are

 

[Cyber_punk]

Booooooooo

 

[Colonial]

You think it's an insult to accuse me of caring about the spirit of the game?

Legitimate run out
