Chris2K Posted July 3, 2023 Report Share Posted July 3, 2023 Also there's a difference between doing it as a warning to keep someone in their crease, and doing it, appealing, accepting the wicket and celebrating. But at least Carey can hit the stumps, of course Bairstow missed. The only example I can think of is when England ran out Grant Elliott in an ODI when he collided with Ryan Sidebottom and upheld the appeal when asked by the umpires. I can assure you I was as damning of them then as I am of Australia now. And don't get me started on the numerous times India have done something like this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
METALMAN Posted July 3, 2023 Report Share Posted July 3, 2023 Same old crybaby poms. This “spirit of the game” thing only gets invoked when an English batsman gets put out and wants to stay in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plubby Posted July 3, 2023 Report Share Posted July 3, 2023 (edited) 6 hours ago, FestiveJack said: it happened with a live ball in the middle of an over. What does that change? Sure, it's true, but it doesn't change anything about it being in the spirit of the game or not. Edited July 3, 2023 by Plubby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Lineker Posted July 5, 2023 Admin Report Share Posted July 5, 2023 Quote England have made three changes for the third Ashes Test, bringing in Mark Wood, Chris Woakes and Moeen Ali. Ollie Pope has been ruled out of the series but England have opted against replacing him with Dan Lawrence, the spare batter in their squad. Instead, Harry Brook moves up to number three with all-rounders Woakes and Moeen added to bolster the lower order. Wood joins Woakes, Stuart Broad and Ollie Robinson in the pace attack with Josh Tongue and James Anderson rested. In a further change Jonny Bairstow will also move from number seven to number five. The Test begins at Headingley on Thursday with England needing to win to prevent Australia retaining the Ashes. England team: Ben Duckett, Zak Crawley, Harry Brook, Joe Root, Ben Stokes, Jonny Bairstow (wk), Chris Woakes, Moeen Ali, Stuart Broad, Mark Wood, Ollie Robinson. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris2K Posted July 7, 2023 Report Share Posted July 7, 2023 This is turning into a very strong endorsement for the benefits of catching the ball. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

METALMAN Posted November 19, 2023 Report Share Posted November 19, 2023 Not really been following the World Cup but I am always up for seeing the India cricket team which is a bit too close to Narendra Modi’s Hindu nationalist project for my liking lose the final of the Cricket World Cup at the Narendra Modi stadium. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PantherFan22 Posted January 28 Report Share Posted January 28 The Aussie women lost to South Africa earlier today, and now the West Indies are a chance of beating the Aussie men in a Test match for the first time in a very long time.

Chris2K Posted January 28 Report Share Posted January 28 Crazy day with England beating India after being 190 runs behind in the first innings. Definitely didn't see that coming. It's the first time ever that Australia and India have lost a test match at home on the same day. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris2K Posted May 11 Report Share Posted May 11 James Anderson to retire after the 1st Test this summer. Let's just say this doesn't appear to be a mutual decision, with the optics being that it's either "retire after the next game or you won't be picked to get a farewell match". The annoying thing is that he's still good enough to get in the team on merit. Anyway, that test against the West Indies in July is going to be an emotional one. It's at Lord's as well. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
