Yet another example of the awesome Spirit of Cricket the English play with. They knock a batter over, run him out and then refuse to withdraw their appeal.

Was checking to see if Number 14 got up in Race 7.
Well, at least that’s normally why square legs aren’t watching.

Stokes post match interview was case in point. Paraphrasing. ‘What we do is give clarity of purpose.’ The subtext being that purpose is do whatever you want.
Not working out for them ATM.
Now looking towards Headingley and team selection, you’d assume that Murphy would replace Lyon. I’d be staggered if we decided to go with 4 quicks and no frontline spinner. I can’t see any other changes, unless the selectors get a bit concerned with Green’s form. Thus far not many runs in the series and been quite expensive with the ball. I think they’ll keep the faith simply because we are 2-0 ahead. Poms you’d think will look at Mark Wood for the extra pace at the expense of either Anderson or Robinson. They might even look at lengthening the batting and picking one of Woakes or Ali.

If I had any Photoshop skills at all I’d replace Bart’s face with Carey’s…
Here’s an even better one, again involving McCullum, that is pretty much a mirror image of the Bairstow incident. Comments Brendon you sanctimonious, hypocritical flog?

I am surprised the MCC members didn’t target their ire at Carey or Cummins. Was Uzzi a target of opportunity?

I thought that was a Betoota Advocate article until I scrolled down!
Edit: and then I scrolled down and saw there was an actual Betoota Advocate article posted saying basically the same thing!
