2nd ASHES TEST: @ Lords Jun 28 - Jul 2nd, 2023

[BunniesMan]

it blows my mind how anybody could think this at all. Carey caught it, immediately threw down the stumps. No waiting, no foxing.

The ball wasn't dead, over wasn't called and Bairstow was dumb AF. Blokes at short leg do it semi-regularly but it's bad sportsmanship when it's the keeper?

Nah, it's 'bad sportsmanship' because it's Australia.

The ball was dead in spirit even if not technically. And I am Australian. We were on the right side with the catch, we are not on the right side here.

Look at the bowler in the replay. Is he charging in to back up the stumps? No. Of course not. He has stopped. His body language is clear as day that he considers the contest over for that ball. I know Carey didn't wait but still all reasonable people feel the game is over as soon as the ball hits the keeper's gloves

Yes we've already established you don't understand the rules or the spirit of the game.

As George Costanza once said - we're living in a society

I just find it an incredibly cheap tactic to take a wicket.

Dig up stupid.

 

[Port Stephens Magpie]

Is anyone debating that it shouldn't be out by the letter of the law? It's the sportsmanship aspect that's incredibly poor.

So if he decided to take a quick run?? You obviously don't a have a clue.

 

[LeedsRhinos]

Australians truly have no shame, i would never want England to accept that wicket.

 

[JokerEel]

Yesterday letter of the law Starcs catch wasn't out..

Letter of the law Fatty is out.

Agree to disagree

I reckon if you notice the batsman taking the piss like that it's fair play. He's not gonna do it when a spinner is bowling, I wonder why that is?

Go away you clueless twit!

 

[edabomb]

I don't think you have a clue if you think there was any indication Bairstow was taking off for a quick single lol. He clearly marked his crease and walked down the pitch. If he was batting out of his crease and didn't return to mark it I'd have no issue.

 

[Sime_11]

I hope we win with the final wicket like bairstows stupidity

the meltdown will be worth it

Question is he out?

Better retract your appeal that got De Grand Homo out

 

[Chins get the wins]

No more medium pace long hops to Stokes and we should be fine here

 

[Rod]

All the commentators including several former English cricketers all have no issues with it. That should tell you something.

 

[edabomb]

Question is he out?

Letter of the law he is. I hope England sarcastically toss the ball at the stumps after every ball next match and we get through about 50 overs a day.
