A bit stupid from Bairstow, seriously just keep your bat in the crease for a couple of seconds, and look behind you before going for a wander. That doesn't excuse the aussies though for running a bloke out who wasn't looking for a run or didn't over balance and stumble out of his crease. They are without doubt the worst cricket team when it comes to pushing the boundaries of what is acceptable on a cricket field, they will attempt to cheat time after time and show no shame after.

They are nowhere near the worst.
They’ve never refused to come out of the pavilion because a decision went against them…

After the Duckett catch was overturned everything was fair game.

Bairstow was stupid and completely invited it on himself, why start the walk the instant it hits the 'keepers gloves? Amateur hour.

I dont get all this moaning about the Aussies.
I watch football and see footballers faking injuries, diving, time wasting, trying to get opponents sent off etc. No big fuss from the press/media about that.

From what I saw the batsman was a knobhead for just walking out of his cross.

Totally different

The fact that a couple of the normally impeccably behaved MCC Members felt it necessary to have a go at the Aussies should beg the question 'Why ?'.
Time to look in the mirror, for once, and admit that whilst within the rules it was very much underhand. They won't, of course.

We will never learn, Moeen Ail is not a spinner just a part-time one that give it up and then took a call to come back only to bowling with finger problems and could not bowl properly, Jimmy Anderson and Robinson's bowling speeds are not good enough, Even Broad is down to around 80mph, again not going to hurt the Aussies unless it's doing bananas in the air,

Test cricket and Ashes test cricket are two different sports, You have to win at all costs, Even getting in the faces and winding them up, you have to upset the apple cart, England has been far too nice and now they took the piss,

If it does not hurt enough losing today then pack up and give them the whitewash, FUCK ME even a couple of the MCC members shown some balls to face up to the Aussie in the long room and call them out,

We might not need a spinner at Headingley, but we will at O.T and the Oval, Moeen isn't going to bowl a side out on day 4 or 5. Also need genuine pace in the last 2 tests as well, as both are usually good to bat on, fuck knows who though as all the quicks are injured.

Underhand…don’t go there , that was banned after the Aussies bowled under arm to stop New Zealand who needed a four to win off the last ball of the innings

I’d have loved to have seen the posts on here if BM had been around for the body line series in 1932-3!

Morgan is shite commentator as is Strauss and only ever comes on when begging for money and then takes the piss out of the people who donated to a very good cause..

Pair of fucking charlatans, everything wrong with our country today

I suspected that the closer they got today, the fewer changes they would make, and they posted the squad quite quickly after the day's play, suggesting that they had little intention of bringing players in from outside the squad. As Boycott said in the interview posted, a wicket that has lateral movement might help England's bowlers, but there's no guarantee that their batsmen will score the necessary 450 if they bat first on it. It's an all-or-nothing Test.

And not at least glance over his shoulder, had he done that he'd have seen that Carey had thrown the ball at the stumps, and he wouldn't have been out.
