It needs to settle down now. It obviously came from the Starc catch. Applying the laws, both decisions were right.
Call it and move on.
Makes for a nice spicey next game

It would just make them look even more cuntish

Hard to imagine that's possible, especially in the case of Smith & Warner, 2 of the most cunty Aussies, which is going some.

The Headingly and Old Trafford crowd will be well up for it now.

They may well do wont make any differance still be 5 nil they are better than us.However they are and will always be shackledragging bastards Smith and Warner are a right pair

Very subtle but important difference between the two incidents. Labuschange played a shot and the ball was clearly still in play as with any stumping. Bairstow didnt and had clearly assumed the over was finished. The umpires body language also indicated the over was complete as he had switched off. I trust you can now tell the difference ??

Not to mention labuschagne was batting out of his crease and therefore was gaining an advantage by negating the swing. Bairstow was not seeking to gain an advantage by walking down the pitch. The two incidents are completely different

Maybe get someone from Team Sky to advise on the spirit of the game and British fair play.

Aussies will always be convicts . It’s no wonder they cheat so often.

Just something about the Aussie’s that you can’t warm to they come across as ignorant cnuts who need taking down a peg or two,what a shame stokes got out as the meltdown from those cnuts would have been epic if England had won that ..

Disagree slightly, England are only losing the series because of their own stupidity. It should be 1-1 at the worst. I mean who the fuck declares on day 1 of an ashes series. Absolutely idiotic. Agree with the rest though.

Honestly the one positive I have about the series is that Australia ARENT better than England.

England have had control of both matches multiple times and thrown it away with stupid ego-driven mistakes. Aus have been really error prone and rattled. Their top order has been shocking considering their previous form.

If England just dial down the Bazball 10% they can definitely win the next 3 tests.

You could argue that the other way too to be fair. Take the point though, there’s not been much between them. Lyon being out for the rest of the series is a big blow to them too.
