If God existed, this would be a forgone conclusion that he'd smash all the runs and win this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn't sneaky or underhand from the keeper but they know damn well what was happening and shouldn't have been claiming the wicket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted July 2, 2023 Share Posted July 2, 2023 Not even the most unsportsmanlike action of the series so far. Easily Robinson telling Khawaja to f*** off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t get me wrong, when he’s blasting a century off 80 balls it’s awesome to watch but this isn’t the first time he’s been called out like this. I recall a game years ago where he walked out of his crease assuming over had been called but it hadn’t and he was run out, however if I also recall correctly again he was let off the hook by the opposing captain, of course that wasn’t an ashes match. Yeah, Bairstow was unprofessional and if this has happened before that should be a bloody warning to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I said, it’s not the first time he’s done it either and been caught out. I think your failing to distinguish between the laws of the game and the spirit of the game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easily Robinson telling Khawaja to f*** off I felt like that wasn’t really directed at Khawaja and was just a generic “get the **** in” kind of thing. Bit crass and juvenile but doubt the Aussies were bothered by it. The Bairstow wicket just seems incredibly cheap and weak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
