[Spark]

Turning down singles with 128 to get? Okay.

To the credit of the Lords members, it must be shocking as born and bred racists to see a brown guy in that room. The only thing more inconceivable would be a brown woman.

Incorrect, not clever and not remotely funny.

Incorrect, not clever and not remotely funny.

I know it's not funny man, its been like that forever

 

[Spark]

No half volleys.

Welcome back

I really want Stuart Broad to be furious after this match. He's not going to be if Stokes keeps doing this though.

Good afternoon 6

I think it's one of those incidents where those ensconced in the game for decades just see it as part of the game while those who only follow cricket for the Ashes think it's totally wrong way to get somebody out.

A bit like sandpapergate; the outrage really snowballed when it got beyond the cricketing world and the general public reacted to it.

I've been following cricket for 45 years and I think it was an utter disgrace. My partner has been following it for a few years and feels the same way.

TBF this is a stumping, not a run out.

Interesting definition as usually stumping happens during the attempt to play a stroke.

 

[Saket1209]

And six

 

[chris.hinton]

Can’t see Ben Stokes getting out

 

[subshakerz]

Is this a freaking test match field placing?

 

[Gnske]

I've been following cricket for 45 years and I think it was an utter disgrace. My partner has been following it for a few years and feels the same way.

How does it feel to be just as wrong as your partner

 

[Burgey]

England: we’ll you see, Starc’s catch wasn’t out because according to the laws he wasn’t in full control of his body in completing the catch

also England: call back Johnny even though he was out according to the laws

 

[Stapel]

I have this sense that I have to wait 40 minutes, just to see things being done and dusted in 4 minutes.

 

[Cricket CoachDB]

Isn't that everywhere in England no matter the sport?

Remember Aussies, the decayed former slaver empire has the right to be mad.

Yeah Aussies are never racist, are they?

 

[Nintendo]

What the **** did you want him to do about it????

Not saying HE should have done anything about it. Just saying it's weird to see a side that accepted a WC they won on an umpiring error get all uppity at this.

 

[Spark]

Uh oh

 

[chris.hinton]

There we go hahahahaha

 

[Son Of Coco]

Haha you are ****ing joking.
