Have we bowled any yorkers yet?

No way. That's out. It's not unsporting in the slightest.

He wasn't attempting a run. He wasn't keeping at the wicket. It's not smart by Bairstow but he wasn't trying to take any advantage. Different if he was batting out of his crease, or Carey was up at the stumps (in which case it would not have happened).

I'll guarantee McCullum wouldn't endorse that if his team did it. he would call the player back. I'd like to have seen that. Keith Miller would not have taken a wicket that way.

Brainless cricket by our blokes. Need lunch to regroup & rethink

Stokes is like Dusty. The bigger the occassion the better he performs.

McCullum once ran out Murali as he left his crease to shake Sangakkara's hand for a century.

You're not attempting a run when you overbalance to a ball down legside either.

This is why test cricket is the best form of cricket.

 

[Dustintime]

Na, I've played a lot of cricket.

Ive played none but dont think either matters

 

[Dustintime]

Commentators said it was OK nobody here but you is saying it isn't ok................

Poms dont seem too thrilled

 

[tigersnake]

geez that was a quick 40 from Stokes. They can win this.

 

[Tigers of Old]

Stokes is such an entertainer. Gilly like.

 

[tigersnake]

I reckon one of the Lords geezers sledged Usman walking through the rooms then. Stopped and challenged him.

And they will. We have bowled absolute pies all morning.

 

[MD Jazz]

Nup. Carey threw it immediately. Bairstow had been walking out of his crease after every ball, that's why Carey had a ping, not because it was over. The ball was live and Bairstow was dopey. Out every day of the week and for 200 years.

But why does it matter if Bairstow was to wait an extra second or two to walk out of his crease? He is not attempting a run? He wasn't batting a meter out of his crease? It's out by the book but doesn't mean it's not controversial or that it's a sporting dismissal.

Not with dips of T20 sh!t.

Sure it does. It means I understand the game and you don't.

Yeh, hope it wasn't a racial slur, Usman reacted straight away though.

I'd be surprised if it wasn't.

Pathetic bowling really how many half voles are we dishing up ? Cam Green went on for 1 over to many should not bowl for the rest of this test !

 

[TigerForce]

Bairstow marked the crease which I also thought would be dead ball.

I won’t be surprised if one of those whining, preppy aholes made a racist comment. Doubt he’d have stopped at just some basic sledge.

Cmon Australia beat these hypocritical whiners.
