Eh I dunno, if there was racism Khawaja would have described it as a bit more than 'disrespectful' Probably just called em cheating cunts as is good and proper

Broad was perfect, I'll take no notes on his performance. Full oval office, mouthing off, complete hypocrisy considering his history. And he stood there and copped a beating in bouncers. He should get a knighthood for it.

I like Broad. He might be the funniest test cricketer ever. His career has been ridiculous for these strange comedy moments.

Trip report. So went to day four and day five of the test at Lords, the bouncer barrage was a bit tiresome and the crowd chanting "same old Aussies, always cheating" pretty continuously was very effectively annoying. Got to watch Lyon's last hurrah on English soil, watched Stokes masterclass in concentration (seeing the 50-partnership for Stokes/Broad sign come up with Broad on 1 was funny) that should have been taken on by Bairstow. Broad pantomiming getting back in the crease for the rest of his stay was pretty funny too. All in all, was glad I spent the weekend there. If you don't like a bit of bant, it won't be fun to be an Aussie in the crowd at Leeds I am sure.

It wasn't even a cuntish thing to do, it was just smart cricket. The malding from the english press and players is just pathetic, especially after all the footage emerging of them doing the exact same thing. The hypocrisy alone should cost them the moral ashes. lol I did that to someone when I was still playing. Gloved the ball, held it for a couple of seconds and then got the bails off when the batsman lifted his foot to rebalance. Didn't bother appealing to the umpire, just started celebrating so the umpire just gave him out assuming he'd missed something blatant.

Anything bad anyone has ever done in world cricket from ball tampering, to racism, to corruption and bribery has been done as bad as or worse by England and they still try so hard to paint themselves as the moral standard and playing the game the right way. Theyre honestly just a bit poo poo at cricket and worse at losing.

I think an extra point in Carey's favour is that he throws the ball at the stumps before Bairstow even moves out of his crease. He pretty much catches the ball and almost instantly throws it at the stumps. It's not a case of waiting for him to get half way down the pitch and then stumping him. He pre-empts that Bairstow will probably just walk out of his crease before the ball is dead because he's been doing it for his entire innings, and sure enough he does exactly that. Contrast that with Bairstow literally hovering over the stumps with the ball right next to the bail, poised just waiting for a player's foot to lift for a split second. cmndstab fucked around with this message at 10:48 on Jul 3, 2023 |

The whole thing is stupid. Bairstow did put his bat down, which is the universal sign of being "in." He shouldn't have walked off straight afterward though. I get the feeling he will be throwing the ball at the wicket for every ball in the first innings of the next test, if he isn't dropped. Which will be funny to watch as he will probably miss 50% of the time.

He doesn't get to unilaterally decide the ball is dead. If he had of turned around instead of ambling straight out of his crease he would have seen the ball hurtling towards the stumps.

If he had taken a breath Carey would have handed the ball off. He just grounded and walked.

(but being serious, the embarrassing red trouser brigade antics seem to have taken some sting out of the media whinging thank god. playing devils advocate: the team have to scrounge together a siege mentality from anything they can cos they’re not very good, and they were always gonna do the steve peters positivity, 2-0 is the most dangerous scoreline, poo poo as well) Potts and Ahmed have been dropped from the squad apparently. so at least they are not going to throw the young spinner to the wolves again. but I don’t see how they can rest broad and Anderson with the bowlers that leaves. gotta call someone up or hope broad can make it through all five on pure oval office energy

Carey's a wicketkeeper, a certain amount of cuntery is expected. I thought they should have withdrawn the appeal, but completely understand why they didn't. Also also, I've just seen the below article and now basically want Australia to try this every ball just to spite Boycott https://twitter.com/telecricket/status/1675811452668485632?t=dMslMPAFog3_9MdTiFKSxQ&s=19

Geoff Boycott is a wife beater. Also Theresa May's favorite cricketer. So even if you ignore everything else about him: He is by very definition a oval office of the highest calibre.

Mister Chief posted:I thought he was dead. He was removed from TMS before the Pakistan series 3 years ago, at the time the official word was that covid restrictions weren't going to work with him being an 80 year old who'd just had a quadruple bypass. Boycott himself thinks it's because he's sexist and racist (he retweeted something along the lines of "not being allowed to be a white male at the bbc") and him not returning is not a surprise when they're trying to have more women in the commentary booth.
