These kents have had a hissy fit over Bairstow wicket and yet do it themselves

Cummins said it’s all fair, also made a note of saying Bairstow did it to Warner in this game as well and in a previous series vs Smith

Broads theatrics after every ball to put his bat back in crease and even when Cummins dropped the return catch from Stokes got verbal from Broad saying “do you think that’s out?” just put him back to top of flog list.

I knew it would happen!!

Happy to sacrifice my ability to watch the game to know we’d win!

Happens all the time, cricket, golf, you name it, if an Aussies doing well, I get an early night.

There you go. Just upset that a) our keeper was good enough to hit the stumps and b) Bairstow dozy enough to be out of his ground. I wonder what mental gymnastics they’ll use to spin this?

They’ll pretend it didn’t happen.
Any of it.

They’ll just chant.
And sell newspapers.
They’re better than us at those two things.

Stuart Broad . the biggest wind up merchant in that team. Ignore. Well I assume Pat and the boys will continue to ignore him and Robinson.

Because we’re a better team than England. Full stop.

I hope Australia presents them all with a sportsmanship ribbon at the end of the series just to show there’s no hard feelings.

At this level they’d give as good as they get, so Cummins and co will see it as part and parcel of professional sport.

Hey Stuart it’s all good we did as you asked

They are definitely getting the most entertaining trophy.

It’s a weird contrast between fans, though.
England fans love their team when they’re losing, and Australian fans hate their team when they’re winning.

lol.
Give them a little plastic trophy with ‘Saving Test Cricket Award’ written on it in green texta.

We all know that were the situation reversed, the Poms would have done the same thing. (In fact, they have done it but not in this series!)

ECB: 0-2 down. Let’s prepare three spicy pitches for the remaining Tests.

Anderson and Broad:

Found an example on Twitter from 2 days ago, of Bairstow trying to do it to Marnus.

Can’t post link though, because Elon is a ■■■■■■■■, but a few journos and ex-players are retweeting it out there.

The receipts on Broad are hilarious
