The days of bringing up the hundred in the 37th over and slogging the last 3 overs around to post a match winning 6/224

They were good days though, an actual competition between bat and ball, I do like when there's an unexpectedly green wicket served up once in a while and today's limited overs specialist batsmen look absolutely clueless

Reminds me of the news reporter who read out joke Asian names of dead pilots in a plane crash a few years back, no way they're real.
Hate it everytime it comes around.
I appreciate the traditions of the place and it’s history but it needs to modernise in a huge way.
The ashes has taken on a life of its own over the last 20 years. It’s a spectacle, the atmosphere from the crowd and the banter (urgh) is what makes it.
The game needs to be more inclusive to people from all backgrounds. That includes the people who go to watch and the people who play the game at a high level.
It’s such a stuffy, snobby sport at times. I think Stokes is trying to change that.
Shocking throw but
This is completely different though.
It’s all in one action.
The bairstow one is wrong because there should’ve been an understanding the ball was dead.
But he was naive to be out his crease so soon.

No. Labuschagne went out of the crease while playing the delivery and would've stumped if the ball had hit the wickets.
Baistow walked out of his crease after letting the ball through to the keeper.
If he'd been attempting to score a single, which he clearly wasn't, it would've been a run out, no argument.

Both keepers, in one motion, attempt to hit the stumps after they take the the ball.
Bairstow had a massive brain fart and paid for it.

Stokes has said if it was him in the Australians' shoes, he'd have recalled the batsman, so if Bairstow had hit with his attempt you can be assured that England wouldn't be looking like kopites right now.

Yeah right. He would jump at the chance to win a game right now.

Very easy thing for him to say after the match. There were 3 ex England captains interviewed after the match who all saw no issue with what happened, apart from Bairstow being brain dead

The rain, it raineth every day
I'd like to see if Labuschagne was batting outside his crease. If he was, then it's fair, if he wasn't then Bairstow is absolutely wrong to be trying it.
Not a fan of this full stop though
