*Official* Second Test (Lord's, London) 28 June–2 July

[Burgey]

Is that Bairstow dismissal not classed as run out rather than stumped?

Yeah I think it’s a stumping but I want it to be a run out because Green doesn’t deserve a wicket lol

 

[Kirkut]

As much as I shouldn’t be blown away by a team I’m supporting inevitably playing like idiots…I’m blown away by how idiotic this performance is for Australia. They are showing every sign of throwing this away tbh.

Yep, no strategy here clearly. Just bowling short and waiting for things to happen.

 

[Saket1209]

I’m pleased for Duckett in this test scoring 180 runs

very impressive, shame his partner isCrawley

Pope is the worst performer in this Ashes

 

[Socerer 01]

The Bairstow dismissal looks worse when you see the previous deliveries. He was walking ahead no problems, then suddenly this dismissal is seen as a live delivery.

he got dismissed at the end because he was doing it every ball before

not dissimilar to why Ashwin mankaded Buttler in that ipl match because he kept doing it every ball

 

[GotSpin]

Fortunate timing for Lunch

 

[morgieb]

Lol @ anyone who thinks this dismissal of Bairstow is fair game and yet complains about RONSBU...

Ronsbu?

 

[Socerer 01]

Ronsbu?

maybe a cat ran on hb’s keyboard

 

[human]

Based on what evidence? Him not having done it previously? Nah mate, he thought the ball was dead and was out of his crease. If you try and run someone out in those circumstances, that is clearly against the Spirit of the Game. Some of the worst cheating I have ever seen.

any wicketkeeper would do it. Also, violating the completely abitrary "Spirit of Game" is not in any way cheating

 

[honestbharani]

Ronsbu?

Run Out at non-striker's end backing up...

 

[Socerer 01]

Run Out at non-striker's end backing up...

calling it a runout seems easier and better

 

[human]

Yep, no strategy here clearly. Just bowling short and waiting for things to happen.

literally the same **** england was doing yesterday

 

[CartyDurham]

Pope is the worst performer in this Ashes

Still would have him all day over Crawley. Crawley averages 28 and about that in county cricket

he is a guaranteed starter when in any other era , he would be gone by now

 

[Cricket CoachDB]

I think Varun damaged Broad's stupid English brain the same way Dunkirk destroyed English identity

Wtf?

 

[morgieb]

Run Out at non-striker's end backing up...

Oh right.

I don't think anyone defending this is anti-Mankad tbh.

If anything it's kind of the other way, a few posters here think this is shithouse but have zero qualms with a Mankad.

 

[subshakerz]

Probably. I mean Stokes declared unnecessarily with 2 wickets in hand in a 2 wicket loss just last Test. He's a very charitable man.

Yeah, Stokes would likely take it back likely. Doesn't seem right.

 

[Bahnz]

Well for the neutral that really sucks, but at least it lets me get to sleep at a reasonable hour.

**** you Stokes.

 

[CartyDurham]

I see it’s being classed as a stumping. That’s fair enough

though now we will see shys at the stumps everytime , from now on in

 

[human]

Yeah, Stokes would likely take it back likely. Doesn't seem right.

this is such bullshit

 

[Socerer 01]

Yeah, Stokes would likely take it back likely. Doesn't seem right.

noted custodian of spirit of the game Stokes who upheld the spirit in the odi world cup final? that one?

 

[halba]

Yeah I think it’s a stumping but I want it to be a run out because Green doesn’t deserve a wicket lol

i see its now a stumping.
