Gilchrist was so likeable it was hard to believe he was an Australian cricketer

I was in Antigua to see him score his 400. Didn’t he feather edge one to the keeper on 0 but there were no reviews in those days? I might not have remembered the circumstances there exactly but it was something like that.

I’d say that could hurt your wrist - however luckily the Aussie cricketers do have quite strong wrists from regular use….

Labushagne at Edgbaston

Punch up yesterday would have been good. I’d have fancied Stokes and Bairstow against that lot any day of the week!

As others have mentioned, do we have to now formalise what happens when you pick up the ball and pass it to the closest fielder (out - handled the ball) or use your bat to pass it back (out - hit the ball twice)? When you have a team so consistently incapable of normal, decent, human behaviour...

As I have said, you guys are incapable of understanding what the spirit of the game means. Winning at all costs is the only thing that matters. You’ve apparently changed but no one is that easily fooled. Showing examples where you think others have also done wrong is not the best defence - it...

They haven’t changed a jot, the veil has been lifted. They put Cummins up because he hadn’t been caught before and has nice hair and teeth, but underneath they are all as bad as each other. Project ‘let’s pretend we have changed’ has failed again, like it did when Tim ‘dick pic’ Paine was skipper.

And by the way, the views on here will hopefully act as a wake up call when the cheating Aussie players log into North Stand Chat. There will no doubt be a few of them changing their locations now to avoid further abuse! 😆

To be fair to Carey, I blame Cummins more. He’s the leader and should be capable of more. The rest of them, not so much. But if you stick 11 blokes in there whose only intention is to win, and with people like Warner still very prominent in directing the team’s moral compass, or so it seems...

If you are only referring to the laws of the game, you are entirely missing the point. It‘s the spirit of the game that was violated here, and that is what the Australian cricket team are incapable of understanding. The Kiwis discussing it here, by the way, it’s only 10 minutes long so there...

The thing is they’ll probably beat us anyway. It’s just the way they do it that makes them so disliked.

The view from Cricket Australia, they have clearly been sat up all night trying to justify what they did, wrapped around a praising of Stokes to give it a slightly less than one-sided balance...

It’s really interesting that the umpire review was for a run out, but he was given out stumped. Basically they didn’t have a friggin clue what was going on.

I was there yesterday and also at Headingley 2019. It was an incredible atmosphere, shame it wasn’t the same result. I was also there at Trent Bridge when Ian Bell was run out and reinstated by the Indians for something kind of similar. The thing with the Australians, and there were plenty...

Obviously I had spotted that it was last year’s …. 😳

Our Avon lady used to visit us after having just been to see Mr and Mrs Greenwood! Alan Weeks, the commentator, lived in Hove too.

Winston Churchill went to school in Hove, there’s a plaque in one of the Lansdownes John Constable lived in Brighton, near Western Road, there’s a blue plaque Ralph Vaughan Williams was married at All Saints Church in Hove, lived in Rottingdean Rudyard Kipling, of course Spike Milligan is buried...
