See City, ruthless, and relentless.

With the best game-managing coach in the world. FFS this guy even changed how we take throw ins. Which top side have ever held the ball in the corner from winning positions as often as City do. Our lads are also encouraged to go down when injured, unlike under previous management. Those fine decisions win games, across all sports.

Leg byes are very rare on the offside it is like Jim says the bowlers stray to leg stump or outside . It would have to be a hell of a delivery to pitch on or outside off stump and hit the pad outside leg stump

I'm fully aware lol , but the same balls may be also be hit with a bat and are therfore runs rather than leg byes , I was always taught that when comparing the quality of the two bowling sides witb regards to extras to use byes no balls and wides for the reasons I've mentioned

Too right it is - they're fucking known for it, the arrogant, obnoxious wankers!

maybe arrogant, obnoxious wankers!, ask Botham about Ian Chappell

Aussie did their absolute best to lose there. Shat the bed again when Stokes turned it up, the typical game raising c**t, and the strategy against the tail was pathetic to say the least.

At the end of the day the better team won. England have probably punched above their weight given the mismatch in talent between the two sides, so I don't think 'Bazball' can be blamed.

As much as the Bairstow decision was against the spirit of the game a little Bairstow himself should take some personal responsibility.
It was stupid to go walkies and probably in the end cost us the game.

I may be in the minority but Bairstow had only himself to blame as it was not the first time he had done it and if you try and intimidate the Aussies like we have with all this talk of Bazball bollocks you reap what you sow

A minority of one.

Legal yes, sporting no.
The Australian way.

Tongue one run away from matching 3 of the opening 5s scores combined…

And that was where the test was lost, despite heroics by Stokes.
