Fucking horrible cheating bastards. No class.

 

[nmc]

He didn’t even fucking look, just started walking up the pitch.

Because that’s what batsmen do in cricket…. But these cunts will resort to anything even sandpaper.

Letter of the law again. None of this is good for the game.

Precisely that. Not a huge cricket fan but like a bit of the Ashes. I've turned off after that, as no idea what the difference is between that and the ball before when it was thrown to a fielder who could have then stumped him.

It's gone from T20 and the Hundreds to exciting cricket in tests, to blokes in striped blazers debating the interpretation of the laws. No thanks

Horrible convict cunts

 

[Gabriel]

It's uncanny how these things come back to bite. Last night, the England commentators were laughing at McGrath and Ponting for the steam coming out their ears, and less than twenty-four hours later the roles are reversed.

 

[SWP's back]

Horrible Aussie cunts. Aussie commentator condoning it too, no surprise.

Why the fuck Sky make us listen to this gloating **** fuck only knows.

 

[BringBackSwales]

Fuck the despicable Aussie cunts, I’m off to the real old Trafford to hopefully watch a more sporting affair. Aussies are the fags of cricket, NO FUCKING SHAME

 

[dadnlad]

have they stopped whinging about that catch now

 

[cleavers]

Not really in the spirit, but Bairstow only got himself to blame, he switched off. Another wicket gifted to them ffs.

He'd done exactly the same "wander" the 2 balls before and Carey had thrown the ball to a fielder rendering it "dead", so he had every right to throw it at the stumps which he did it before Bairstow wandered off.

 

[melrose40yarder]

Nothing wrong with that dismissal.
Bairstow is a muppett wait till u here over.This is top level sport not a knockabout on the village green.

Letter of the law again. None of this is good for the game.

That catch wasn't letter of the law. If you've played cricket, even as a kid at school, you touch the ground with the ball getting up and it's not out. Anyone whose ever played cricket knows it. Cheating bastards.

 

[M18CTID]

Nothing wrong with that, ball isn't dead. Bairstow not concentrating.

Careless from Bairstow but he can’t be the only batsman to do that. I wouldn’t be happy if England took a wicket like that but I suppose I’d take it!

 

[domalino]

It’s the umpires fault.

He’s looking away and taking the bowlers cap off to give it back to him. So he thinks the over is done and the ball is dead. He’s supposed to call the over finished and the ball dead.

So I’m not having anyone claiming Bairstow is to blame.

 

[N1985]

Would have loved that bat to lodge firmly between Carey's front teeth.

 

[Stelea]

So many amateur decisions and dubious tactics in both tests by England.
Will end 5-0 if this carries on.

 

[Edghill OG]

It’s out.

How long do you stand there for? Till he calls over?

Ironic thing is that they constantly go on about slow over rates. Hasten the process up and get yourself out. Can't see it but hopefully a monumental siege mentality performance from Stokes now.

 

[Claytop]

Thought he’d wait until after lunch but obviously not!

 

[RiversideBlue]

Careless from Bairstow but he can’t be the only batsman to do that. I wouldn’t be happy if England took a wicket like that but I suppose I’d take it!

England wouldn't claim one.... But they might in the next test.

 

[N1985]

Fuck it. Come on Ben

Sky are cunts during the football season, same during the cricket season
