SANDPAPER
I didn’t just mean this incident. I love test cricket but a team bowling 98% short deliveries is not proper cricketOf course it's not
The controversy will die down soon enough and at the end of the day, if anything, it adds to the spice.

They did reference that on coms, remember something but not the details of what happened.

That sums up the Aussie attitude. Always ok when you're defining the imaginary 'line' - biggest moaners and whiners when it goes against them

I thought the Aussies had learnt from sandpapergate. I was wrong.

I suspect once it's all died down a few of the more level headed Aussie players will feel they should have.

Can't we also not direct our ire at AussieSpurs? One of our own remember.

if you watch the Chappell v Botham interview it sums the Aussies up perfectly. everything they do is fair, anyone else it's not.
all you have to do is listen to the laughable reaction from Mcgrath etc to the Starc 'catch' last night. they're totally one-eyed.

No. The New Zealand batter played the ball, stepped forward to take a run not knowing where the ball had gone and Pope ran him out.

I get that. I don't like it either and the best scenario would have been Australia withdraw the appeal and not make the umpires make a decision but they're not going to do that. Ultimately Bairstow was doing that beforehand which is silly for someone of his experience. Carey clearly spotted that which is why he threw it instantly. The question perhaps should be did he warn Bairstow that he'd spotted it which is the only justification I have for Mankading someone. If you warn someone and they keep doing it it's hard to be sympathetic.

Did Broad just say, 'How was that?' to Cummins?
