[Cricket] The Ashes- England v Australia- 2nd Test, Lords, June 28 - July 02, 2023

Fair dismissal. First thing I learned at school cricket, wait for the umpire to call the over.

 

[jcdenton08]

I don’t like it, but it’s correctly out, and that’ll be the match and probably the series. It was a long shot anyway.

Umpires don’t call individual balls.

Why do some insist on defending things that are quite obviously unsportsmanlike, it’s the same as the Mankad… technically LEGAL but nonsensical and shouldn’t happen in a gentleman’s sport.

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

Define when the ball is dead?

Either way it’s absolutely classless and desperate behaviour from the Aussies

He has thrown the ball pretty much as soon as he caught it, not dead and still active.

They have watched him walk out the crease since he has been in.

 

[Muzzman]

My immediate thought was…

“f***ing idiot!”

I haven’t changed my opinion, Bairstow has been utter gash with the bat, and more importantly, the gloves in this series so far.

'Better cricket when it's length' says Broad, who spent his entire spells yesterday afternoon bowling bouncers, including at a one legged number 11.

Taylor is a very intelligent and rational commentator. He was a top captain too.

I agree with him about the catching law. It was a perfectly good catch yesterday, although it fell foul of the rules. That's rightly ruled out.

Utter rubbish he scrapped the ball along the ground in the act of catching the ball. Never has been never will be a legit catch.

Every umpire I’ve ever played with calls “over” at the end of each other. The ball wasn’t dead. I don’t like that sort of cricket (Mankads and the like) but I am sorry but I think it’s out.

Can we come to a compromise with Suella and deport the Aussie cricket team to Rwanda?

 

[amexer]

You wouldn't walk out of your ground if keeper was standing up so why do it when he is standing back

 

[PILTDOWN MAN]

what a pity an Aussie wasn't in the way of the bat

 

[Is it PotG?]

 

[BrickTamland]

Annoying and unsportingly but ‘fair’.

Overall we’ve been totally found out this series. I’m not against bazball as it’s been thoroughly entertaining and it’s won more than it’s lost but against top teams there needs to be a plan b

It is out.

Just like a mankad, doesn’t make it right or acceptable.

Yes. Out and brainless by Bairstow. They were watching him do it repeatedly

Carey is clever there like diving in the penalty box in football is clever if you get away with it. Same old Aussies...

Absolutely. Happened before and India withdrew their appeal.

It wasnt illegal to bowl underarm when the Aussies did either. Doesn’t stop them being historic cheating twats.

 

[METALMICKY]

Technically it's the correct decision. However, unless you have played cricket you wont really appreciate how it goes totally against the spirit of the game. How desperate are they? He's not trying to gain any advantage. The correct etiquette is that the keeper could warn the batsman along the lines of " hey fella watch your wandering down the pitch ".

 

[PILTDOWN MAN]

Aussie Captain could have called him back in.
