Popular Post tonyh29 Posted July 2, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted July 2, 2023 You can see Bairstow exaggerating his back foot to make a point of being in his crease and then walking up assuming the ball is dead…thats pretty disgusting from the Aussies . seeing the members in the long room booing and heckling the Aussies was quite something 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its opportunistic and not in the spirit of the game but they’ve broken no rules at the end of the day, and let’s face it - we should expect nothing more or less from Australia. Yes they do, every single over ever. It's just that balls normally aren't thrown back directly at the stumps. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whatever Australia did or should / shouldn’t have done, it’s Bairstows fault, simple as. Like I said, it’s not the first time he’s done it either and been caught out.

PaulC Posted July 2, 2023 Share Posted July 2, 2023 (edited) Just dopey from Bairstow. For me it's a but like when thd bowler runs out the batsman. It's within the rules but not the spirit of the game. Edited July 2, 2023 by PaulC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's within the rules but not the spirit of the game. Not the same for me - non-striker is getting yards up the wicket for a run. There’s an argument that it’s an advantage that he’s trying to take. Bairstow isn’t seeking to gain anything. He’s going for a chat at the end of the over. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s honestly like blaming defenders for being near an attacker when they dive, but OK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markavfc40 Posted July 2, 2023 Share Posted July 2, 2023 (edited) This test match will be won or lost in the next 40 mins or so. If England can put on 60+ runs with Stokes still there and 3 or 4 wickets remaining we'll win it. Edited July 2, 2023 by markavfc40 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rjw63 Posted July 2, 2023 Share Posted July 2, 2023 Stokes, a six of the second ball, then dropped going for another. Not going to last long I don't think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
