I think all countries cheat, unfortunately. Atherton with dirt in his pocket and Burns deliberately scuffing the ball with his studs spring to mind. That kind of cheating is one thing. However, it's interesting that it's these examples of flouting 'the spirit of the game' that cause so much ire. On that point, it's quite comical seeing Broad losing his rag/bandana after he deliberately refused to walk in 2013. There will be more such chicanery in the coming Tests I suspect.I agree with that. Bottom line is, the Aussies will do whatever it takes to win. Given developments over the last few years, it shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone. Do I like it? No I don't. The Aussies may well win this test, but they won't come out of it with any credit. But then again, they won't give a fuck.

cant believe what I have just seen. Lost all respect for this Oz team, that was fucking horrible. Hope England somehow get over the line here and then bloody pulverise them in the remaining tests.
The u piers should have sanctioned Cumming for bringing the game into disrepute. Cheating bastards.

The wicket umpire was actually looking down unhooking something from his coat so he must have thought it was the end of the over.

Seems we did last year against New ZealandEngland wouldn't claim one.... But they might in the next test.
Sky comparing it to Pope's last year is bollocks, in that one a run was attempted and then he changed his mind.
Bairstow wasn't attempting any run. Even the umpire wasn't paying attention. The celebrations were even worse, pathetic.
Hopefully Stokes can get this chase into achievable territory.

Sky trying to gaslight us into thinking that wasn't scummy by using an example that wasn't at all the same
Not like they don't have form is it.

Comment on the BBC made me laugh..
There are members in the Long Room so enraged that they've reverted from a Windsor knot into a much more aggressive half Windsor.

I very much agree although it would only take 6 overs like the one he had a couple back. I’m watching for the entertainment rather than hope, let alone anticipation.If that run out had happened to Duckett I think we’d have a chance, with Bairstow coming in fired up like Stokes.
But I just don’t think Broady can stick around all day no matter how pumped up he is, and Stokes is batting more like a “going down swinging” than he’s going to get a 200 to win the match.

He was giving Green his cap back so it must of been a dead ballThe wicket umpire was actually looking down unhooking something from his coat so he must have thought it was the end of the over.
