We let them play cricket in an attempt to civilise them.

200 years later and it's clearly not working. We should rescind the invitation.

Maybe they can spend their time watching NASCAR, Monster Trucks or something else more suited to them.
 
decision was technically correct right, and it's seemingly something England players have attempted recently

I'd fudging love it if we won the ashes with something like that

Don’t ever remember us attempting that but could be mistaken, do you have an example? I know that’s what Cummins said in his interview (that Bairstow tried it a few times himself that game) but not seen any evidence yet.

we do try to get people out if they are attempting a run or have over balanced out of the crease, but that’s a completely different thing to the umpires effectively calling over and a batsmen taking his mark in the crease and casually walking down the pitch to talk to his mate. As Sky and the Aussies willfully ignored yesterday.

If its the NZ one he was running for...yep a run

Interestingly loads of others flying about when Dhoni called a reverse decision when it happened to England before, was a different situation but effectively the same situation, batsman was given out. Collingwood was run out in identical fashion and Vettori called him back.....decent people do

That's what the rule is designed for. Not for people who have marked their crease at the end of an over.

I think Cummins was saying that they had noticed Bairstow walking away from the crease ‘early’ before in the game, so saw it as an opportunity. Rather than him trying to do the same thing.

To add : apparently in that case the right thing to do would have been for the Aussies to warn him.

Think he said Bairstow tried to do it to Warner in the 1st innings, so he’ll mean as the keeper attempting a stumping. But I’ve not seen any proof of that yet.

it’s absolutely the case, in the spirit of cricket, that you should warn the player if you think he’s moving a bit early.

Ah ok fair enough.
I am a latecomer to cricket (relatively speaking). In so much as I always used to say “it’s boring” and my (now) husband would say you only think it’s boring because you don’t understand it, so I made an effort to understand the game, just so I could say “Ok I understand it and it’s still boring “ - but then I got to see the tactical aspects of it ( )pre-T20 etc) and came to appreciate it far more than I thought I ever would. BUT after all this time, I am still missing so much knowledge and to be honest it will never come close to football for me. So instances like yesterday are still a learning curve for me but I find it fascinating, rules v spirit.
 
In better news Essex hit 6 off final ball v Surrey to get into QF of the blast.

2nd in Championship with a real shot at winning it.....

big point is that the umpire hadn’t called over though right?

examples here,

Not really, because not one single person has said it’s not out. Everyone is unanimous in saying it’s out as by the rules.

then I don’t understand the furore, it was smart cricket

it’s pro sport, on the field, the end justifies the means

It's absolutely what should be done.

It's technically legal to run out the batsman at the non-striking end by taking his stumps before you bowl if he's stealing a couple of feet as you run in. In reality it's never done. You warn the batsman and he stops doing it. I was always told to warn him within earshot of the umpire too - in case he doesn't listen.

That said, I was also told that anyone contracting "How was that Sir?" to "Howzat?" or forgetting the "Sir" would be dropped for the next match.

you were a CB right, would you tell a CF if he kept stepping offside?

never interrupt your enemy whilst they are making a mistake

They both pretty much had with their body language.

The square leg umpire was wandering back towards the stumps and the bowler's end umpire had started taking the bowler's cap out to return it to him. They clearly both thought the ball was dead.

I'm fuzzy on the rules, do they need to verbally declare "over"?

this talk of the coaches not drinking with them after the game I don't get either

how can you respect an opponent who doesn't do everything in their power to beat you, more importantly, if they don't, they don't respect you

look at stage 1 of the tour on Saturday, there is no way in the world Simon eased off so Adam could get a GT stage
