It's The Ashes (again)

[wba13]

Same old Aussies always cheating, same old Aussies always cheating.
They have no morals utter. Tosses.

Btw, this is excellent entertainment right now. Superb and vicious Australian bowling. Broad is battling away valiantly and Stokes is pummeling the ball at every opportunity.

You just can't rule out Stokes having a magical match winning innings, can you?

Just seen this. The Aussie aren't here to make friends and they are doing a great job of it.
Not a very sportsmanlike way to go about it.

Brilliant from Stokes.. don't write England off yet!

They just showed Bairstoe leaving his crease after every ball and Carey has thrown it to fielders, this time he’s just thrown it at the stumps.

If that’s what you have to do to win then I’d rather not.

Why aren't you criticising Bairstow for being an idiot? He's been given out for similar in the past, and as you say he was leaving his crease after every delivery. He hasn't learned from past mistakes and has been punished for stupidity and could have cost England a win (again, this time with the bat as opposed to with the gloves). 

I really don't understand the issue. It's avoidable from Bairstow and within the laws of the game. Australia have seen an opportunity and ruthlessly taken it. I'd be loving it if Bairstow got Smith out in that way. It's clever cricket from Australia and it's brain dead cricket from us.

The issue is you this is not cricket, that’s 3 dismissal’s in 2 two tests that wer not out but given by incompetent umpires and cheating Aussies.

My heart wants Stokes to do it again.
My head tells me it's too much and he'll mishit one sooner or later. 
However under pressure who knows whether the Aussies will bottle it again?

Hes' marked the spot with his foot, and checks. There is intent from him.

Silly wicket yes, but underhanded nonetheless. From here on in its needle all of the way, makes for a fascinating watch.....

Huh? It's out. I'm not sure how you can dispute it. The umpires have made the correct call hy applying the laws of the game.

I feel a Kevin Keegan quote coming on. I Would love it......

This is out by the letter of the law. Even if I think it's a scummy way to get him out, it's still out by the letter of the law. If the Aussies claim it what are the umpires supposed to do?

He taps his foot before moving out of his crease ball should have been dead. As I’ve said incompetent umpires. It certainly woke up Stokes though hasn’t it.
