2 very different situation as I explained before. nothing more to add to what I have already said Bairstow shouldn't be doing that either. As I said since yesterday both Umpires have moved like it was over and Bairstow was walking down to talk to Stokes like at the end of every over.

Brendon McCullum: Australia will live to regret Jonny Bairstow decision Brendon McCullum: Australia will live to regret Jonny Bairstow decision (msn.com) You are mixing the 2 situations up here whilst they are entirely different situations. Also the majority of the Lords crowd made their feelings know to the Australia and I think the MCC have been weak and given in the Australia here IMO. You don't

The MCC need to grow a pair. Disgraceful action by them and grovelling to the Aussies. Aussies got the right treatment from the members.

Former Australia international Brad Hogg has branded Jonny Bairstow's controversial stumping at Lord's a "cheap" move and insisted England were "hard done by". Brad Hogg says England were ‘hard done by’ after ‘cheap’ Jonny Bairstow wicket (msn.com)

very sad news. True cricketer legend

Looks like Thursday is when the shirt will be unveil given that the club shop hours have changed this week

down to the umpire to make the correct decision there and if they don't make the right decision there then the fielding side can appeal to the 3rd Umpire. Also it complete different situation the Bairstow dismissal You are trying to mix in every type of dismissal here

Its come back to spirit of the game and that if you watch the TV coverage Both umpires starting moving and it looks it was over. Neither umpire was watching the play and that's why it had to the refer the 3rd umpire. He made his decision based on the footage he watched which was technical the right decision but was it within the spirit of the game, not for me. That the problem, no doubt we see more of this sort of stuff during the rest of the test series

Don't Marcon pay a fee for them to supply us the kits? it will be unveil later this week in time for the first game of the pre season on Saturday against Stanley

Looking like 9,000 Season Ticket holders for the first game of the season against WBA

I also wonder that. Plus Luton are interested aswell

Thanks for explaining the De Grandhomme dismissal that Ewood Ace mentioned. I couldn't remember it to be honest. Bumble knows the game and the rules. He is spot on that Starc's catch was grounded. simple as that Starc clearly grounded the ball, end of story. 3rd umpire said it wasn't out

It was a test match according to the ICC.

Root, Duckett, Stokes and Broad all get that team easily. Anderson might have done but not based on series performances We lost 3 in a row? We beat Ireland didn't we? On trial? Let's just ignore everything and only focus on the Ashes series then? On Bazball? If you listen to Stokes and McCullum post match interviews you would properly understand what Stokes and McCullum are asking the players to do. Clearly you do. They have clarity on backing whatever approach each batsman wants to adapt. The game was there for the Win and under Stokes we will always go for the win. Saved the game? What a boring approach to cricket that would have been to today target. About 250 runs to chase on a full day play. Really?

oh well thanks for the reply 👍 Of course I don't like losing but as McCullum has just said now on Sky Sports that we aren't far away at all and I agree with him. England will come back and I would make a a couple of changes. Yes England didn't bowl well enough in those conditions but Smith innings weren't outstanding like Stokes was. I would make 2 changes for the next test Wood and Ali in for Robinson and Anderson. All runs matters don't there? of course they do. Stokes and his players need to be abit more smarter with some shot selection decisions.

We have played well at times and I would expect the to carry on playing the same way. it isn't McCullum who has told them to play there. Did you listen to what Stokes said at the post match interview with Mike Atherton? Him, McCullum and the rest of the coaches about given the players absolute clarity of how they want to play. Its down to how each player wants to play I would say they were others who deserved that Man of the match award likes Stokes, Tongue, Starc. The crowd are more than right to make their views known to these cheats

😂😂🤣 England shown plenty of fight today. what are going on about. Stokes should remain Captain and McCullum as head coach regardless of the Ashes results. Your approach is outdated and reminds me of the 80's and 90's with mental decision making

sadly not the result we want but Stokes's innings was fantastic. Onwards to the next test. Would like a couple of changes but alot depends on pitch and weather conditions firstly

Gutless. Typical MCC. Yes and cause himself more time out of the game.

Fair enough. I like Cricket but Rovers is first in my list Every company is different but generally your bosses will want some notice. granted unless the circumstances are urgency that you need the time off. I tend to book the baulk of my holidays at the start of the year so they know when I would be off but it always the same weeks of majority of the time.

I think England will win this. They are clowns and they get what they deserved. Cummins should have withdraw the appeal but didn't. classless

Said yesterday that they only had 3 man bowling attack without Lyon. Only 128 runs needed to win with Stokes in form. What do we think now?
