As old mate Chop Chop once said, "whinge farken whinge", the English keeper and Coach have very short and selected memories it seems. No one from the mother land was prepared to talk spirit of the game trumping rules when that disgraceful decision was given against Starc. Cop your medicine and suck it up.That was the umpiring though...not the batsman, Duckett had accepted he was caught and walked off.......I just dont want to be in the same gutter as the English or McCullum.
Re: God help me - the Test Cricket thread - LordLucifer - 07-03-2023
A lot of people may not be familiar with the rules that apply to Starc's catch. Whilst it is rather technical, the correct call was made even though it did shit me accordingly.
I took a catch in a match a few years ago back-pedalling to keep my eyes on the aggot, as the ball went into my hands, my momentum made me fall backwards onto my butt, I put my hands down on the ground to brace the fall, the ball still in my hand palm-down. There were calls of 'not out' from the opposition on the sidelines. The player umpire gave it out even though the rest of his team were shat off with him.
On returning to the pub after the match, I quizzed one of the guys who had just completed the umpires course and he explained why it should have been given 'not out'.
However, on the flipside, Bairstow's dismissal was completely in the rules as the umpire had not called 'over' so the game was not "dead". Besides, Carey took the ball and immediately threw it at the stumps, its not like he waited in hope for the opportunity.
The icing on the cake is that Bairstow has tried the same tactic on numerous occassions in this series already but because he is a crap throw, he has missed the stumps each time.

The Poms furore is mainly for the sole purpose of deflecting on the fact they are 2-0 down in the series because their new "Bazzball" tactics have failed dismally.
The term "whinging Pom" has risen again and for damn good reason.
Re: God help me - the Test Cricket thread - Macca37 - 07-03-2023
If England were truely concerned about the spirit of the game we would have seen Stokes call out Bairstow immediately after his attempt to stump Marnus earlier in the game. Fat chance of that ever happening.

Stokes talked to the umpires but seemed to accept the decision all be it not happy so I dont think the match ref was involved? unless the umps spoke to him at the time via their radio comms?

Well, England confounded; Bairstow stumped.

Suck shit muppets.

Fat chance of that ever happening.Indeed. Our crime here is that we were competent: our guy hits the stumps. No mention of the numerous attempts the English made which missed.
Would Stokes have taken it if Marnus had been stumped? You bet he would! Hypocrisy is something I do not like, and this is very much the case here.

Whinge some; you lose some.

The driving force behind the fury and insults hurled at the Australian team has not been mentioned: English exceptionalism.
Scratch the thin veneer of English civility and you will find the long-held belief that Australians are second class citizens incapable of meeting the professional and educational standards of the UK and Europe but are tolerated provided they know their place.
This was my experience when I visited England in 2017 to discuss a business venture and clearly nothing has changed.
