100%. I know lads from work who don’t like cricket but took it in when they travelled to India. If you come to England attending footy, ideally a lower league game, is a must. I’m sure the same must be said of Union in NZ etc

I see Smith's mother had to leave Lord's early as she was being abused by the crowd, while an 11 year old son of one of the team staff members also copped it and had to be consoled by the players after the game.
Smith's 100th test coming up and his mother has just copped abuse from England fans. They're trying to get him to score 500 at Leeds, aren't they?

Really pathetic. Stuff like this needs to be stamped out so we don’t head towards the way of football crowds that are probably the most high density low IQ masses you’ll ever see outside of republican rallies in the US.

Moooo
If this was Bangladesh v West Indies, this **** would have never gotten this stretched out.
Live and let live, you fools. You guys wrote the laws. Sweet irony that it happened at Lord's

Tennis obviously isn't a real enough sport to mention.

Whatever it takes!!!
She is completely wrong though. Should do it everytime to everyone.A lengthy debate ensued when Indian cricketer Deepti Sharma ran out England’s Charlotte Dean through Mankading, and the “Spirit of Cricket” was questioned. Speaking about the same incident, Australian cricketer Ellyse Perry took a dig at England and gave a hilarious response.

Omg I just realised Cozza described F1 as a “real sport.”

Arguably the worst form of motorsport to watch in terms of actual wheel to wheel racing, yet I would still watch it over literally 90% of other sports in the world
Around your way perhaps. Around these parts you will struggle to find anyone who doesn't remember it fondly. You might get the occasional fan who takes sport too seriously, but even amongst the prudes it still brings a chuckle usually.
I thought it was a work of genius. Not because of any effect it might have had on the match, Aus were always going to win. But because it turned a mundane regulation type of delivery to win the match into an even more mundane one that seemed to break many kiwi cricket fans hearts with it (always commendable).
It took the tiniest sliver of hope the kiwis had (it's the hopium that gets ya lol) that a last ball miracle could tie the scores, and crushed even that.
All within the rules to boot.It has been said that the humour might have been far less apparent had the Aussies been on the receiving end. To which I can only reply...possibly...but the fact that they weren't seems to be the whole point.
It was a great shame that the bowlers career was ruined over it though.

Since you're making a comparison. If NZ had underarmed a delivery in the same match their outrage over Chappell would have been about as convincing as England's over Carey after Bairstow tried the same dismissal against Marnus.
The under arm delivery was unique whereas keepers trying to run out/stump inattentive batsmen is fairly common.

I’m just gutted it took this long for someone to bite at that.

I mean you barred the world’s best player from entering your country so yeah you don’t get to talk about that one

I can only assume that Ashes emotion has taken over. Ever since I first started playing it was accepted by all that you don't ground the ball during a catch, and you stayed in your crease until sure that the ball was no longer in play.
It's difficult to believe a professional cricketer like Starc wouldn't have known the rules re a fair catch. Then again I remember Ponting claiming an obviously grounded catch in the monkey gate series. To make it more embarrassing he got up and raised the finger as if to give it out himself, all with a straight face lol. Was never sure what to think about that (have no doubt what the Indians thought about it though).
As to Bairstow, he just overlooked one of the most basic fundamentals of the game that club players would be disappointed with. Should give himself a swift uppercut and move on.
