This might go some way to explaining what happened:


Although, isn't Bancroft somewhat ginger? So maybe not.

If it was a couple of blokes having a joke then nothing would have been made of it on the field to begin with.
No way. When sledging you will bring up anything and present it in any way that gets to the opposition. I don't know how they were sledging him, but maybe they were saying "Hey Bairstow, you headbutt like a girl".

After Lyon's stellar work I'd be pretty disappointed if this is the best they could do tbh

Gotta wonder if Wade should have stayed on as keeper

Reminder the incumbent had a wonderful day behind the stumps and was sledging away constantly.

If Wade was keeper we would have found out about this on like day 1 of the test though
You don't give away the plot twist in the opening act.

This is perfectly timed, just like that stumping today.

This would never have happened in inner-city Melbourne.

This is what happens when you venture out into dystopian Australia. You end up having to socialise around immortan Joes and AFL/NRL bogans. The use of head as a method of defense is a must, especially if they try to talk to you.

Dunno why this is such a big deal. If Bairstows efforts so far in Australia any indication he would’ve just top edged him

This is shaping as a worse tour for England than 06/07 or 13/14. That’s a more impressive achievement than actually retaining the Ashes.

So what are the latest updates? Johnny to receive a fine? What will happen next?

Catch us on Ginger Cage Fighters for the latest news.

If true and it's not some bullshit, Bayliss has to go at the end of the series. He's presided over the team and let this indiscipline grow rife. Don't think Root is exactly the guy who will bring his men into line either.

Hopefully they can still hit Bairstow( if true) and Stokes with big fines. Stokes shouldn't be allowed to play IPL for a couple of years.

Woudn't be surprised if it was bullshit though, exaggerated massively to cause problems for England.
