coxyhog Posted July 2, 2023 Author Share Posted July 2, 2023 I suppose the difference between a mankad & Bairstow's dismissal is that someone backing up is trying to gain an advantage,whereas Bairstow clearly wasn't.Stokes has said he would've withdrawn the appeal if it had been England. But I suppose when you do things like use sandpaper to try to win then the spirit of the game means nothing to you. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Atherton with his pocket full of dirt? Pannesar with his mints and sun cream? Trescothick using mints to shine the ball?

coxyhog Posted July 3, 2023 Author Share Posted July 3, 2023 It was impossible to police what a player was sucking on during a game & we only know about Tresco & Panesar because they wrote about it later,which seems to me to indicate that it was probably pretty widespread. I suppose that's one of the few good things to come out of Covid,the banning of saliva....but I'd put money on someone somewhere experimenting with sun screen or even hair gel.

fygjam Posted July 4, 2023 Share Posted July 4, 2023 Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese taunts England after Rishi Sunak complained about Ashes Anthony Albanese has launched a brutal comeback after the British PM complained about Australia’s Ashes victory. “I’m proud of our men’s and women’s cricket teams, who have both won their opening two #Ashes matches against England,’’ Mr Albanese said. “Same old Aussies – always winning!"

Bobbyg Posted July 6, 2023 Share Posted July 6, 2023 Why is Bairstow keeping? He is truly crap. Hes dropped 2 now albeit one a tricky one I agree he should be in the team but surely Foakes should be keeping. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael Vaughan in the Telegraph today:They are 2-0 down because they have missed 15 chances to Australia’s seven, and have conceded 60 more extras than Australia.
