God help me - the Test Cricket thread

[ElwoodBlues1]

So Sharma scratches guard and shadows bats while in the field... WHERES THE MEDIA PILE ON!?!

Think he was taking the piss out of Smith who was watching him and the media thought the same, I thought the umpires might have moved him and cracked down on what is stupid behaviour. I dont think he scratched guard and just shadow batted, its a practice thats needs to be stopped and I'd just ban fielders from doing it and fine them if they ignored a warning.
Another practice annoying me is bowlers and fielders who throw the ball back to the keeper in a temper and either hit the batsman or come close to doing it. Wade does it and I saw Singh do it as well,  bit sick of all these little tanties they throw without any warning from the umpires. Lyon threw one at Sundar that nearly hit him in the head after getting frustrated. We saw Bumrah knock the stumps over and nothing from the umps in the previous test and I'd be laying the law down to both teams that its going to cost the player fines if they sook up and play like kids.
Really pro sportsman are so spoilt and precious these days, you got the Indians complaining about no 5 star treatment due to covid restrictions ie they had to make their own beds?? and these bratish tennis players complaining they have to isolate without any practice etc etc and be locked up for a week or two to protect the community.
Either follow the rules or go home and stop whinging, their own countries are rife with covid and they have the cheek to question our security lockdown measures that are keeping them safe...
