Cummins should just have called Bairstow back in the goodwill of the game which is allowed in cricketing rules …….. he didn’t he and his team exuberantly celebrated instead. Absolute fucking cheating cunts , you reap what you sow Man City know everything about that . Australian cricket cheat to gain an advantage fuck them absolute cunts of the highest order.

No, you are wrong - they weren’t cheating. Let’s be clear about that first of all. Bairstow was out according to the rules of the game.

However - the spirit of the game is more important, or it should be. The match result will be forgotten in time, as will who won the ashes in 2023. But what won’t be forgotten, or forgiven was the decision of Cummings not to recall bairstow.
It’s up there with Maradonna- no one remembers his incredible goal thereafter, nor that Argentina went on to win the cup - they remember’the hand of god’. These things matter. Many years from now, Cummings will be remembered for that and not winning the match itself.
 
Was a snidey way to get someone out. He wasnt beaten by the ball coming down the pitch or trying to nick a single. Cummins should have retracted his appeal. They would have won anyway, I think the atmosphere they created after Bairstow got out made things much harder for them. Great innings from Stokes but yet again you look back to a brainless period 3rd morning where we gifted them the initiative. Not much between the two sides really but we're 2-0 down either way. Be very very tough from here.

Can someone give me a basic explanation of what the controversy is please?
Keep in mind that I know nothing about cricket.

Seeing as you know nothing about cricket, here's something to get you started:

  • You have two sides, one out in the field and one in.
  • Each man that’s in the side that’s in the field goes out and when he’s out comes in and the next man goes in until he’s out.
  • When a man goes out to go in, the men who are out try to get him out, and when he is out he goes in and the next man in goes out and goes in.
  • When they are all out, the side that’s out comes in and the side that’s been in goes out and tries to get those coming in out.
  • Sometimes there are men still in and not out.
  • There are men called umpires who stay out all the time, and they decide when the men who are in are out.
  • Depending on the weather and the light, the umpires can also send everybody in, no matter whether they’re in or out.
  • When both sides have been in and all the men are out (including those who are not out), then the game is finished.

Hope this helps.

Say out and in one more time. Go on, say it.

Agreed. Their worst decision of the series, by a distance.

Only England fans remember the handball but not the Dennis Wise handball goal which clinched Euro 92 qualification.

Same with the cricket, they would all have celebrated it going the other way.

I hope I don’t catch you slating Atwell & co for their refereeing performances next season, you know things like calling them cheating cunts, because it’s all in the rules of association football ;)
