It's funny how when the poms win it's within the rules but when they lose it's against the spirit of the game. Why didn't stokes call Duckett from the field with the Starc catch. Been out for 100 years that catch.

 

Why didn't Broad walk in 2013 after edging to first slip?

 

Baz stumped Murali on a 100 celebration with team mate.

 

Just kharma catching up with them.

Now I know why the Pom's are always complaining, they get it from their P.M. ????

I dont think i have ever seen so many man children with such frail egos.

 

To think that the PM would carry on like this to try and be popular with the low IQ masses in a pathetic attempt to win a few votes.

Indeed. The rules they made themselves.

Its always someone else's fault with these people.

Shows how unpopular he is and clueless on the game. Keepers try to stump batsmen! Been like that for 100 years!

They all stink of desperation. From the PM to the players trying to make out it would have made a difference to the result.

They would have lost anyway.

They usually do.

This is one where we were robbed and it changed the result.

Out of the 359 tests Australia and england have played, did you know that England have only won 111, or 30.9%.

Less than one in three.

Don't let facts get in the way. Poms like to dream.

Whilst i agree the Bairstow incident was definitely out, if you actually read most of the comments from actual cricket writers and supporters back in England you would also notice most of them agree it was out. Bairstow was an idiot for not staying in his crease.

 

But the irony of a thread full of comments on English bad behaviour whilst the Aussies have Steve Smith in their side is too funny.

Finding the tabloid driven controversy a bit of a laugh and a yawn.

Highlight of the ashes: the ridiculous long room fiasco. You have gotta love the waxwork figures come to life that are the MCC members. Straight out of central casting or Monty Python's Upper Class Twits. 

We need more from those old self-entitled farts, completely unaware of their self parody.

 

And all this occurring against the backdrop of a major report condemning elitism and lack of diversity in cricket!! Wonderful stuff!

I think the Aussies will at least retain the Ashes, despite losing every toss. While mathematically possible I cant see England winning from here.

They are just not good enough.

 

This test will probably be a draw due to the weather.

You have to fancy England's chances in this test, now.  Weather permitting...
Well done to Scotland, keeping in the pace for 20-20 World Cup 2024

This test is going really well for England now, who look set to make it 2-2 in the series. In this form, England can expect to retain The Ashes at The Oval, where the body of English cricket will continue to be preserved and treasured.

Good luck with that - check Manchester weather forecast.

3rd test tomorrow. Poms should drop Anderson and Bairstow. If not they lose again.

Your round.
