At the risk of a ban for racism 

I must say, what a bunch of whinging [censored] ants the pommy bastards are !

Every club or park cricketer knows you wait for the call of “over” before you wander down the pitch

FMD !!!

I’m now putting them on the same level as the the filth

That's not racism so you can relax, with a shiraz from the cask.

Bairstow was trying to do the same thing on day 3 and run out our batsmen.

McCullum the English Coach, said he wouldn't have a beer with the Aussies and was reminded when he ran out Murali, who walked up the pitch to shake the hand of his batting partner, who had just scored a ton. Play had stopped.

McCullum sheepishly said he regretted that.

MCC members abusing their privilege of having the cricketers walking through their long room, should feel ashamed. These privilged tools should be setting the example, not acting acting like drunken ferals.

GAGF is probably my most articulate reply at the moment.

    Despite Australia acting within the rules and in spite of all the hypocritical in-hindsight whinging spewing from the English players and their coach, I think there was a great opportunity lost by Australia in this whole episode. Australia don’t have the greatest reputation for fair play - think sandpaper gate and underarm bowling as two prime examples. Given this was an Ashes test, at the very home of cricket, Cummins, and this Australian team, would have covered themselves in glory if Bairstow had been recalled, and our reputation under this new Cummins reign would have been enhanced no matter the outcome of the game. 
    I have to admit that watching it live, the dismissal did not sit well with me.

    Didn’t sit well with me but it’s great seeing the Pot calling the Kettle black.

    Twitter out showing Bairstow stumping a guy in 2014 and being proud of it, saying he copied the English keeper who did it at Lords in a Test match.

    What annoyed me the most was Broad doing that silly exaggerated grounding of his bat until the over was called. Once was bad enough, but he did it repeatedly and was asking Carey if it was ok, as in, can I now leave my crease? He was picked up on the stump mic saying to Carey “you know this is all you’ll be remembered for, right?” Per-leeeez. 🙄

    It didn’t sit well with me either, NC. But nor does a mankad. Not without a couple of warnings anyways. The thing is though, can you imagine the brouhaha had Bairstow been recalled and they ended up with the win? Besides, he’s their wicket keeper… he should know better than to leave his crease prematurely. Moreover, he’s attempted this dismissal before with either Usman or Marnus, I can’t remember who.

    Thanks WCW, i know all the reasons why he didn't get recalled, and I also understand the backlash Cummins probably would have received from some quarters in Australia if he had been recalled and we'd lost. However, i think Cummins' decision enraged Ben Stokes in particular, and because of this, I very much doubt we would have seen his magnificent innings - which would have been a tragedy - had Bairstow been recalled.

    I also think the boys are going to be in for a very hard time next test, both in the way the Poms will play it, and how the supporters will react to our team. I certainly hope we win this test convincingly for our own sake. However, it will not surprise me if we actually lose this test.

    And it will make beat those whinging bastards even sweeter.

    Interesting the person saying the least. Bairstow. He knew he [censored] up...  but too much of a snivelling wimp to say so... just letting his numnut team mates to slag off.

    What a bunch of clowns

     I love this photo. Bairstow still inside the crease, the ball already on its way to the stumps  and stupid Bairstow wanders off without looking where the ball is. I  don't think a junior cricketer in Australia would ever be so stupid. FB_IMG_1688619467493.thumb.jpg.a3e38052278a748209074b5c5a9de4c4.jpg

    This from Stuart Broad........"That's all you'll ever be remembered for," he told Carey.

    Right??? He looks like a tennis player from the 80s. Also, after each over he bowls he puts his cap on without removing the knotted headband and the cap doesn’t sit properly and it’s only a little thing but it drives me to distraction.

    My recent tour through the outback led me to reminisce on the good old days in our fine country.

    In particular, seeing a few old church halls and " Mechanic's Institutes " where many a dance, engagement party or other community event took place  made me remember that famous ( and very important ) decree , "Ladies bring a plate "

    There was a very clear social order in the good old days. Blokes drank beer and sheilas made lamingtons. Nowadays things are very confused. Even a simple a simple request like asking a sheila to hop it to the fridge and get get you another coldie is considered offensive in some circles.

    Which, as an aside, makes me wonder what  the sheilas who post on this thread would provide if asked to "bring a plate".

     For the purposes of personal safety, however, I'd put that request in writing rather than  face to face)

    I gather from @WalkingCivilWar 's posts, that she can barely boil water - so no chance of a decent feed there. @Lucifers Hero often mentions wine, so she might bring a decent shiraz.

    Arrrh ..... the good old days !!!!

    I’d bring a plate… an empty one. 😁

    And I’ll have you know, I CAN cook. It’s just that I don’t like cooking, nor am I any good at it. I’ve burnt the arze outta more pots than I care to remember. And there was that one time I set the kitchen on fire (true story).

    Anyways, that’s what Maccas and KFC and HJs are for.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.
