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

[human]

It’s terrible sportsmanship and Australia should be embarrassed, but at least it’s karma for McCullum.

why the **** is it bad sportsmanship. i don't get all this dumb ****, if its a legal dismissal why shouldn't it be allowed

 

[Shri]

Shame it didn't happen on the last ball of a session. Otherwise England could've gone into the Australian dressing room to guilt trip them into taking back the appeal

clouderson will shoulder charge some aussie (maybe head?) when all this was going on too at some point in the series, when teams were walking back to the dressing room for a tea break

 

[ataraxia]

Stokes in full display of his aggressive behaviour both in cricket and outside of it there

 

[Saket1209]

And stokes talk about being positive with the bat even if they are losing. Hypocrisy

 

[Spikey]

lol at Broad saying that Carey will forever be remembered for that, as if a keeper doesn't view that as a compliment and not a sledge

 

[chris.hinton]

Green is a club bowler

 

[Shri]

Even if he isnt he should retire. The Poms call him Goat but he isn't better than zaheer khan

not fit to wipe down zak's jockstrap

 

[Gnske]

Bazball is so boring it took one of their batsmen being dismissed to bring excitement to this depressive affair

 

[kevinw]

Headingley mode?

 

[thierry henry]

ugh now we have to put up with this bull****

 

[TheJediBrah]

Bairstow should have stayed in his crease but it seems a bit churlish to even try to take a wicket that way when you're miles ahead.

Your face is churlish

 

[social]

Stop bowling ****ing short

Seriously bore off will ya

 

[OverratedSanity]

Mankad is also legal then why everyone starts to bark about spirit of the game.

Haha yes. Cheating aussies with their imaginary line again. Bunch of cheating hypocrites the lot of them.

The only solace is that it's happening to England and McCullum.

 

[Saket1209]

If they want to bowl short ball they should have played the match at perth or joburg

 

[Prince EWS]

I’m so torn, I want to love that but really I know that when McCullum did it I called him a ****

I do think a batsman walking out the crease after leaving one to the keeper is quite different to McCullum doing it after there'd been runs and batsmen met to celebrate. Especially when he did it to Mpofu.

I don't even think they should be recorded as the same dismissal type. You should only run out players attempting a run (or attempting to cancel a run) IMO - which none of Mpofu/Murali/Bairstow were, but Bairstow was stumped.

 

[Aidan11]

I'm not going out again today cos every time I do we lose a wicket.

 

[Gnske]

Stuart Broad really should shut his ugly estrogen filled mouth when it comes to matters of the spirit of cricket.

 

[Socerer 01]

lol at Broad saying that Carey will forever be remembered for that, as if a keeper doesn't view that as a compliment and not a sledge

rich of Broad to talk about being remembered for controversial things

 

[Spark]

This is a bit thick
