It's The Ashes (again)

[SuperBob2002]

When was the last time we beat the Aussies in an Ashes Test. Was it Headingly?

[Tom Joad]

Wasn't De Grandhomme dismissed by Pope in similar fashion last year? Not sure but someone will be sure to correct me.

I thought Sky were bang out of order even trying to compare the two events, I suppose when you have aussies part of the commentary team you must look for balance

CDG was wrapped on the pad, the appeal went up for LBW, he went to run, then turned back and was ran out when the ball went to gully and Pope threw the stumps down

Bairstow's dimissal today was like chalk and cheese, he's rubbed his foot on the crease after the ball has gone through to the keeper, trying to denote he's "in" and has walked down the pitch to his batting partner

By the laws he's out, Carey actualy hasn't done much wrong but to compare it to the CDG - Pope incident is utter bollocks

How the fuck has Stokes not got man of the match???

Stokes team lost the dam test!!!..
Steve Smith’s contribution resulted in his team winning the test he rightly was MOM.

When did the winning player ever have to be MOM?

It's based on an individuals performance, not who won the game?

It seems your clutching at straws because the Ashes are lost there’s more chance of a 0-5 whitewash than England coming back to draw the series let alone win 3-2!!!..

Pindgill loves an England defeat, its the only time he appears on this Albion forum.

Hope they hand out appropriate sanctions to the guilty parties.
Inexcusable no matter what has gone on in the game.

While I don't condone the actions, far worse happens over in Oz. The Aussies dish it out, but are the first to complain when they get anything back.

I really hope we can take the emotions from this game into the rest of the series. We were so focused after the incident, and we need to show that same intensity going forwards. Should be a spicy game next week!

Headingley will be a cauldron of emotions.

It is of course possible to be stumped after having got back, depending on when the keeper takes the bails off if the batter then leaves his crease again 

The only grey area today was whether the umpire had actually called over.  Stokes seemed to say in his interview that over had been called, but I think it was merely inferred by the umpire starting to prepare to hand the bowler his cap.

I refer you to Foulkes v Balbirnie.

Sky said this was quick thinking ... to me he waited for the moment. Carey's throw was instantaneous.

I'm never ambivalent, The report confirmed the likes of me also didnt get a fair crack at playing.  Times changed.. I genuinely don't see any racial discrimination at my local cricket club, nor any grammar school bias. I would love to have the facilities and opportunities that are available now

And don't fucking start me on Australians, just go over and  try those twats out.

[Ted Maul]

I genuinely think I've woken up today more cross at the cricket than I have an Albion result for about 18 months. Fucking snides.
