bust Posted July 3, 2023 Report Share Posted July 3, 2023 While not a big cricket fan has been interesting to watch the drama unfold ‘Poms’ great Ashes hypocrisy’: Australia reacts to second Test controversy Australia woke up on Monday morning to an Ashes storm blowing from the other side of the world after Alex Carey’s controversial stumping of Jonny Bairstow led to acrimony, recriminations, finger-pointing and a degree of bafflement. Battle lines were drawn almost immediately after the England batter’s dismissal on day five of the second Test at Lord’s, as the not unfamiliar debate centring on the rules of the game v the spirit of the game was reopened. England captain Ben Stokes was, perhaps understandably, in the latter camp and questioned in his post-match interview whether Australia’s appeal was in the spirit of the game. But Australians were quick to point out that on day three, Bairstow had attempted to stump Marnus Labuschagne in a similar fashion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mekong Posted July 3, 2023 Report Share Posted July 3, 2023 If England had of been ahead/ winning you would have heard nothing about it, but as it is the series is slipping so they are having a bloody good whinge about anything that doesn’t go their way. England undefeated whinging champions of the world since 1066 ☺️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mekong Posted July 8, 2023 Report Share Posted July 8, 2023 Looks like Steve Smith is now spitting the dummy See Ya’ Smudge Smudge or Smudger have been used for Centuries as a Nickname for Smith. It comes from the fact the name Smith refers to a Blacksmith, smithies we’re always covered in soot therefore created a smudge or were a smudger. Cant understand what Steve Smith is getting so wound up about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
