TFKs barmy army not one bit happy tonight
Iâm seething.
Is there any precedent for disqualifying/banning players or teams for such egregious unsportsmanlike behavior the criminals showed today?
The seethe is hilarious. One of the first things youâre taught as a cricketer is to stay in your crease.
Bairstow tried it in the same test. Of course, Bairstow isnât a very good cricketer, so it didnât become an issue.
The Poms are disgracing themselves on and off the field. Itâs just not cricket.
When they say âtechnically and by the letter of the law itâs out âŚâ then itâs out.
Two bald men fighting over a comb. Crowd reaction entirely predictable, and understandable given that like baseball, if there was no booze, thereâs be no game. Iâd imagine the sandpaper was mentioned in the long room.
All the English commentators, and Eoin Morgan thought it was out, and Barstowâs fault. Stuff said in the heat of the moment. Aussies playing bodyline against the tail enders passes unnoticed. England nearly as bad. Jimmy Anderson took a fair few belts.
The English are very sore losers. They werenât too worried about the spirit of cricket when they were crowing about Starcs catch being disallowed the other night.
Not only are the English boorish oafs but they are also hypocrites
Itâs the Convict blood. They just canât suppress it. That Sandpaper crew should all have got life bans after they were caught in Cape Town in 2018.
Well played
