Indeed.

Bairstow tried it 2 days ago.

There are many things that The Poms don't do well, but one that they excel at is hypocrisy.

If you drill down to the core of this strange+exciting series you'll find a NZ coach with his own agenda...

if you want some insight into the man with the agenda...find yourself a copy of Ross Taylor's book, it doesn't paint McCullum in the greatest light.

Speaking of English hypocrisy, has any statement ever come back to bite a player as quickly and thoroughly as Robinson and his "three number 11s" remark?

This about sums it up

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Everyone is the world is a hypocrite, who cares. It's human nature.

Did you guys learn nothing from that episode of Scrubs?

 

[Farang83150]

For all their pretence and cucumber sandwiches the entitled *s in the MCC members at Lords are still just as classless as the reprobates in the outer

Stuck up campaigners

SO richmond!

All the sweeter having a kiwi involved in the loss as well..

This about sums it up

From the article:
“It has marred today,” former England captain Alastair Cook said. “Everyone has a bitter taste in their mouth.”

Indeed there will be a bitter taste in everyones mouth today

The Poms want to turn test cricket into a T20 circus then whinge when they get dismissed in a T20 fashion?

Seems to be about right

Good call, spot on

I haven't read it but has it got something to do with the captaincy changeover from Ross to Baz?

Yeah, pretty much, few other bits and pieces as well.

Can hear the poms replying already..."Yes but WE wouldn't have claimed the wicket"....FO you hypocritical kents!

 

[Doashuey]

Indeed.

Bairstow tried it 2 days ago.

A decent keeper would have hit the stumps.

Comprehensive.

 

[UseR2006]

I hope they do it again against Bairstow in the third test.

 

[Bender_]

With the whole historical Broad edge, why wasn't he given out anyway?

Ahh okay.

And the umpire was also blind?

 

[Monocle]

Love seeing The Soap Dodgers getting themselves in a lather over the run out.

Their:

Captain
Coach
Former captain Cook
Pommy Media ( some not all ).
Toffs in the long room.
Broad - The serial whinger.


Nothing fuels disappointment like expectation.

 

[boondy]

I would hope Stokes and Cummins would bring a player back and set a good example of proper sportsmanship if it happens again .

 

[Ochre]

Ahh okay.

And the umpire was also blind?

He edges it into the keepers thigh and then it pops up to slip, so I guess the umpire thought Haddin just somehow missed the ball by a foot himself.

It was a thick edge straight to first wasn't it? Hence the controversy
