This is getting tense.
Some atrocious bowling to Stokes just gifting him a ton.
The Bairstow wicket - just dumb to be walking out of his crease like that and smart from Carey to have a shot at the stumps.
Big hour after lunch as the high emotions play right into England's hands

No different to a mankad.

Spirit of the game?


If you're happy with getting a wicket like that then it says a lot about you.

History is on the Aussies side, however, the poms have chased down such a total of late and we know what Stokes did against us last time we were in England. Get Stokes out in the first session and you'd think we win.
Can you be in control of your body if you're falling or sliding?

If he'd slid over the boundary rope, what would you have given?

Loved seeing the MCC members even getting stuck into the aussies. Everything they deserve.

Looks like the aussie have already complained about it.

Great innings by Stokes, ably assisted by Stuard Broad.

The rest, well no one can defend what we saw last night and today, not even an aussie.

Hahahaha.....you sad whinger.

When does the applying of rules stop and when does the spirit of the game kick in?

Phenomenal innings by Stokes enabled by poor bowling and strange field placings.

Another nice win going 2 up in the series.
Well done to Stokes putting up a good fight.

The laws say "mankad" is allowed. It's against the spirit though. This was even worse. Do you disagree?

Starc dropped the catch and claimed it? Are you going to defend that?

When have I whinged?

Cricket doesn't have rules.

Can happily show you the LAW about a dead ball. If it's not called a dead ball then it's out but definitely not in the spirit of the game. Worse than a mankad.

Almost as bad as starc claiming that catch last night

If the roles were reversed you'd be claiming it was a piece of genius.

I thought it was a run out when the batsmen is attempting a run but in this case it went as a run out so there goes that theory.
