English cricket thread

Holy shit, Australia are utterly pathetic... given they moan about sportmanship themselves :lol:
 
Hilarious. Unsporting but this is entirely Bairstow's fault. Oz were under no obligation to not appeal that. England at least found their excuse for the loss.
 
They should have withdrawn the appeal. Poor cricket.

Albeit silly by Bairstow.
 
In fairness, Carey through the ball way before Bairstow decided to go walkies.
Because he knew exactly what he was doing. Cheated. Neither umpire was looking at the play. Fielders were walking in for the end of the over.
 
Glad Oz did not withdraw it. They had gone too soft after the cheat-gate. Sport is better with them being cnuts they are.
 
Sadly, this is the easy thing to say. But Bairstow decided to go walk, Carey decided to throw it way before Bairstow left the crease.

Does he do that every time? No, pathetic. Ruined a summer of cricket. Never ever do I want to see Australia moan about anything again.
 
Aussies being Aussies.

Bairstow probably trying to sneak a bazball single.

This series is over now sadly. Shame.

None of Oz fielders were moving. Bairstow definitely moved out way way too quickly.
 
In fairness that's pretty clever by Carey having seen the replays of Bairstow doing it constantly. Not really in the spirit of the game though :lol:
 
Aussies being cnuts. What a surprise.

Bairstow is an idiot though. He’s having a shocking series.
 
I want to see England mankade the Aussies at every opportunity for the rest of the series.
 
What’s annoying is we were looking at an interesting finish to the Test for the fans. Aussies huge favourites but England with a slim chance.

That’s been killed by a bit of poor sportsmanship. Just feels like a really unsatisfactory way to close a Test.

They planned it didn’t they? Otherwise there was no reason for Carey to throw that — even if the throw happened before Bairstow walked
 
Winning by hook or by crook despite already being better is a bit tragic. I really do hate moments like that in sport. Takes away so much from a cracking series
