One dickhead spoke in a show featuring Michael Vaughn and Phil Tuffnel. He was saying Bairstowe always did this wandering act and Australia have allowed him to establish this as his routine throughout the series. For them to suddenly exploit this on a crucial day and take his wicket is unacceptable.

He insisted that they should have done it the first time he wandered. They didn't. And they let him make this an established habit. For the Aussies to suddenly wake up and throw down the wicket during a tight chase was wrong.

No one asked that dishonest moron if the fielding team was allowed to run out/ stump other batsmen in the team when and if they too wander, or if Bairstow has established "the routine" for the whole team.

Cheering for Australia to **** this England team and burn their egos for feeling so good about themselves.

Yeah look at how they are slagging off Robinson a bloke who averages 22 with the ball all because he gobbed off at Khawaja. You'd think he was Mark Ealham the way they are going at him.
Apparently that average consists only of tailend wickets. Read it today in the match thread

being Aussie one thing I’ll tell you those old Aussie legends and players a lot of them who sledged a lot themselves during their career. A lot of them will get offended by any sledge or trash talk thrown around by any player in the current generation

to put this poll into context, beeb did the same thing and it was 83% yes, 17% no

absolutely staggering that this vote is 7-3 for no, begs the follow up question "did you understand the question?" (or the concept!)

Wow, a whole bunch of self righteous Englishmen dislike it. I'm somehow supposed to think their opinion is more valid... why?

I'd suggest the BBC voters are better asked those questions.
