Thoughts on the ‘spirit of the game’ commentary coming from the English team and coach?
Personally find that laughable, considering how they have played the game.
If I were an England supporter I’d be embarrassed by the behaviour of the team, the crying foul by the team now, the crown behaviour and in particular the members’ behaviour.
They said we should’ve withdrawn our appeal.
Did they not see that brilliant catch by Starc, that was deemed not so by the third umpire. When clearly - in the spirit of the game - that was a catch! They should’ve overturned the third umpires call then.
Poor sportsmanship by them and I have no sympathy at all.
Had they said fair enough Bairstow should and does know better, the Aussies just stayed switched on more than we did - I would respect them.
As for the members’ behaviour, completely embarrassing and makes you think that privilege of standing in that area in such close proximity to the teams, should be revoked! Not often I’m leaving my workplace for lunch and getting abused by people on my way out!!!
