Clearly what Stokes meant was “we purposely stretched out our post game team meeting to avoid having a drink with those Aussie pricks then Lo and behold the bastards turned up at the same night club as us!”

think you've gone a bit off piste ...
there is no mention in my post about exclusive domains of whoever ...
the word "toff" - are you referring to the MCC?
Wiff of entitlement has everything to do with it and I'd prefer you refrain from personal digs because you have no idea
who and what i am ..
Coming off the long run.
So Bazball Mrs McGregor maintained the rage with no dressing room drinks?
What an angry Man She is.
"Ya canna buy better than Mrs McGregor!"
100 year Ashes traditions getting ripped up by a sheep shagger!
We should wind up The Ashes and never play them again.
And of course we keep them forever as the last winner!
A *smile*' Kiwi telling England what to do!
Amazing!
Rant Over.

Sorry, ToO, total BS. No credit to England at all. Credit it down to the umpires AMAZING decision to give them a virtually new ball after hitting Khawaja on the helmet. That ball was doing nothing and Australia dominating. The other major factor was the weather interruptions which really favored the bowling side especially ending Day 4 so early. Then batsmen having to make fresh starts in overcast difficult conditions repeatedly.
‘Disgraceful’: England gifted ‘brand-spanking new’ ball after Usman Khawaja’s head knock
Really? Simply not true. Khawaja highest run-scorer for series; Starc highest wicket-taker. Australia never got the best of conditions for batting and bowling, warm sunny days that England got or continuously dark, overcast conditions we copped.
Not to mention cheating ball changes - this test especially and when Broad also got another ball to dismiss Marnus in previous test. That ball change and the weather interruptions especially terminating Day 4 so early when our batsmen were dominating totally altered the outcome. So the rain saved Poms this test along with a disgusting ball-change allowance.
Along with the bastardry of Broad changing the bails around which pathetic umps allowed him to perpetuate. Not changing the result but It's simply being encouraged to act like an *smile*.

Yes, correct. But you failed to mention biggest factor - the 'fortuitous' ball change. Just a blatant cheat.
That part you've got absolutely spot on. They really are a pack of arseholes. And their supporters are even worse.
OMG. You're thinking is so soft. So you think their whole attitude is totally justified? The whole Bairstow incident was a complete beat-up and displayed incredible levels of galling hypocrisy - he has done it himself jubilantly and tried it on often before Carey. Do I have to remind you?
They have no 'word' ... if you mean honour. Their most unfortunate control of the rules of cricket (MCC) encourages them to believe that they stand for the illusionary "Spirit of the game". But, in fact, along with India, they are the biggest abusers of the rules of the game as was shown again in several ways over this series. The latest being the cheating subterfuge of being allowed to switch to a virtual new ball early on Day 4.
And then for a wannabe Pom like Baz (and Stokes is also NZ born) to refuse to have a drink with their opponents ... Well, go back and read over the above. All of it re-proven. Let's not leave out their appallling crowd behaviour - from the outer chanting that Head was a c--t with no intervention, to their utterly privileged pack of bigoted, drunken and arrogant fools in the MCC.
You are just an apologist for your Pommie mates. As for me, I'd never want to waste my time having a drink with such a pack of miserable bastards and cheats.

No. It's NOT a fair result ... due to that incredibly dubious ball change by the umpires who told Khawaja that 'that was all that was in the box!' Come on, it's such an obvious and blatant cheat. That ball was so much harder and newer it swung like anything and determined the result. They kept using it until the end - for 95 overs it was such such a hard cherry.
The ECB has as much integrity as the AFL IMO, and that's damning.
Also leon, after McCullum said that they won't be having a drink with the Aussies, he changed his mind a couple of days later after realising he'd made a prick of himself, and said that they would.
He's a man of conviction, won't have drink with the Aussies, will have a drink with them, he's all over the shop.

Or if they lost, it was really a win. A moral victory. Some handy assistance with incredible ball change choice from the umpires to turn this test around too.
They're still a bunch of tossers. More than ever I think. However, I do like Barling and Brook - two young batsmen without that mingy attitude and who really love to attack with bat in hand.
Aust needs to find simliar young batting talent now. Step aside Warner for a start.
OMG. Again. You actually fell for that. Your naivete and gullibility is astounding. If you really cannot 'read between the lines' on all this, I'm not going to even try to explain it to you. But seriously ....
Nah. The poms are just whingers and sooks. The other mob are a pack of *smile*
Very true

His team pushed for the review so he went with it. But then was infuriated when it was counted as a lost review,which was the totally correct outcome - and supported by all English commentary that I saw/heard.
But Stokes argued and berated the umps at the pitch and all the way off the ground due to the following rain delay.
Oh well, just another example Of Baz and Stokesy's implementation of the "Spirit of the Game", of course.
Nah. Can't quite agree but close. They make the Moggies seem slightly more tolerable.
Bit of a stretch for any poster to drag politics into this but, since you did, you must have accidentally omitted "and LNP crooks, grafters and corrupt criminals."
Want me to amend for you?
PS - there's been a lot around to hate. Apparently a former NSW premier even found one in her bed!
Now you have caught up and are onboard with what actually occurred, ToO.
Noticeably the Australians were friendly and good sports throughout. Gave a guard of honour to Broad. Congratulated Stokes on his century.
Head even seemed to give a consoling pat and chat to Stokes going in to lunch after he had dropped Smith.
And badgered the onfield umpires.
Even after the end of the session, walking off for lunch. All the way of the ground.
Disrespectful.
Spirit of the game - take the umpires decision
