“Australia Ran Over The Spirit Of The Game With A Bulldozer” Piers Morgan Reacts To Action At Ashes

- Piers Morgan reacts to the action on the last day of the second Ashes Test at Lord’s.
Three MCC members were suspended after Australian captain Pat Cummins revealed his team experienced “aggressive and abusive” behaviour in the Long Room.
A flash point occurred on the eve of lunch on day five when Jonny Bairstow was dismissed in controversial fashion, after Australian wicketkeeper Alex Carey threw the ball at the stumps at the conclusion of Cameron Green’s over.
Bairstow had already left his crease to speak with Ben Stokes, under the impression it was a dead ball with the over finished, but was given out and it saw the Lord’s crowd respond with hostility towards the tourists.
Piers says: "There are the rules of the game, which Australia clearly followed. And then there’s the spirit of the game, which Australia ran over with a bulldozer."

Was the run out in the spirit of the game?
Absolutely not
@@kevin982 sook
It was not a run out. Bairstow was out stumped.
Embarrassing performance by Piers Stefan Pughe-Morgan, who would have fitted in perfectly in the long room.
Stumped mate
I can 100% guarantee Piers Morgan would have been telling the Aussies to get over it had it been the other way around.
yep 100%.
piers is a c%^t
He would. Though a hypocrite might, even if he doesn’t follow his own words, have a point occasionally, and in this case, he does.
100%
Exactly!
Piers going on about ethics is laughable in the extreme.
👌🏼
But it's not just Piers Morgan. They've got some other shining exemplars of probity and integrity weighing in, too. People like Rishi Sunak, latest of several prime ministers of the most corrupt government the UK has ever had, and serial woman basher Geoffrey Boycott. Hang your heads in shame Australia, when loathsome scumbags like them are lining up to chastise you.
"That's all you'll be remembered for"
- the guy still remembered 10 years later for hitting the ball to first slip and standing there dumbfounded like he didn't hit it.
I think broads more remembered for 8/15
Who was the umpire that didn't give it out?
whenever someone says broad the immediate thought comes to my mind is the guy who got thrashed for 6 sixes and cried on the field like a baby LoL.
@@ungobungo7986 lol no he isn't.

Pretty standard

Don’t know. Seems Aussies whinging quite a lot about old men in ties telling them what a bunch of cheating bastards they are. I mean, being told by Warner that you are out of order is hilarious given he’s head butted Joe Root and been banned from the game for 12 months.

50 years a cricket watcher - the best stumping I've ever seen.
This is the best response I’ve seen regarding this brilliant piece of fielding.
It will go down in history with the under arm incident.
yeah, Carey is becoming a very good keeper, unlike Bairstow who thinks he is entitled.
@@chuckmaddison2924 actually England's massif over-reaction more likely to be remembered around the world I reckon
@@thedalailemur Englands whinge heard around the world
Notice how nobody is agreeing with the English
Why would anyone ? The whinging poms are 100 % wrong
The Australian Daily Telegraph wasn’t very happy about it
England whinge so much they’ll whinge about the crowd being to loud.
If Bairstow's similar stumping attempt had been successful the result would've been identical, except for the crowd cheering and the commentary declaring it "smart, very smart play".
Ben Foakes did the same against Irish batsman Balbernie in a ODI & he was praised for quick thinking & alertness!!!
Exactly,They are hypocrites!
Imagine being English and being torn between wanting to feel indignant about Bairstow being outed for making a mistake under 12s don’t make, but not wanting to agree with Piers Morgan. If ever there was someone least qualified to espouse anything spirit or morality related, it’s this muppet.
Biggest fucking sooks in the world.
You’re forgetting their prime minister. What a joke of a country England has become.
@@murph7421 nobody even knows who their prime minister Is..
The umpire gave it out - that's all that matters.
Morgan is doing it for clicks, as ever.
@@murph7421 I thought he was the Indian PM
The bad sportsmanship and hypocrisy being exhibited by the Brit players, fans and commentators is far worse than the one instantaneously decided cricket play. The hypocrisy comes from the Brit keeper attempting the same play numerous times.
nah bro. england doesnt mention those attempts because they didnt gain a wicket, jonny cant throw a ball
for s**t
It's English players not British.
It's England v Australia..
I saw a clip of Bairstow doing that. The batsman went down the pitch and turned to make his ground again. He was looking at Bairstow as Bairstow threw the ball. It was all part of the contest.
Carey threw the ball behind Bairstow's back when he knew he wasn't looking.
It was a dirty lowdown underhand thing to do.
Within the laws of the game yes, but something no true man, gentleman or sportsman would ever contemplate doing.
@@pauljeffrey1181 Australia 2 England 0 . What the Lord's members did to a different countries National cricket team as they came in for lunch was ten times worse and a much bigger violation of the spirit of cricket.
@@pauljeffrey1181 he looked back at bairstow because he had the awareness of being stumped. Bairstow himself lacked that same awareness and got himself completely pants-down stumped as he wandered off his crease. His own ignorance caused his own downfall yet you have whinging crybabies vehemently crying out cheating despite bairstow himself trying the exact same tactic two days prior.
What a team. World Test Champions and now 2-0 up in the Ashes. Go Aussies
I blame Brett Lee for this. He had a chance to break Morgan's head. 😂
Only if he didn't miss we won't have to listen to this verbal diarrhoea
Morgan tapped a dead girl's phone, traded shares in a dubious manner and accused a UK soldier of torture.
Agreed. He cost British soldiers their lives to sell a few papers.
Never forget
Soldiers torture people all the time he might been wrong but Uve got blinkers on if ya think they dont
UK soldiers are not angels
@@michaeldoolan7595why were soilders invading countries and killing innocent people
Bairstow did same to Labuschagne (who was in crease), what about Atherton dirt in his pockets (no suspension), england bowlers used lollies in 2005 to cheat and alter ball condition such that ICC changed laws of game, McCullum twice did same with run outs (see Murali run out) yet talks about spirit, what about DeGrandhomme in NZ, Stokes could have withdrawn appeal. Spirit only gets raised when self righteous hypocrites are on the wrong end of decision
And they lose.
Let’s not forget Moeen Ali in the first test - ball tampering
Exactly, the hypocrisy of the English on this is massive. The faux outrage is amusing
@@gtaveteran Not actually ball tampering, Ali breached the ICC Code of Conduct by using an illegal spray on his injured finger and was fined. Breaching the Code of Conduct certainly doesn't sound like playing in the spirit of the game.
@@twinpeaksVVV spirit of the game is also accepting & respecting the umpire’s decision end of story.
this is a classic case of applying "spirit of the game" when it suits your side.
And it needs to be throw in the bin. This spirit of the game is fine by the posh boys but when it comes to ordinary supporters we want our team to win by the laws of the game
@@paulchristopher8634 Nonsense. The law is intended to prevent the batsmen from gaining an unfair advantage. It is very black and white and doesn't look into all scenarios considered, ie batter tapping down the wicket mid over, mid over chat between batsmen / congratulating a 100 etc. Those scenarios and not conducted by rules / laws but within the spirit of the game.
Cricket is unique, invented by gentlemen for gentlemen and requires an appeal for a wicket. No other sport has this. Only on an appeal can a wicket be considered against the rules / laws of the game.
This allows the spirit of the laws/rules/game to be upheld.
This by the rules / laws of the game he was out is complete nonsense. The rules / laws prevents the batter from gaining an unfair advantage, i.e. getting a headstart for a quick single. In this instance Bairstow wasn't heading down the pitch to try for a single but a mid over chat. Therefore, the intent of this so called rule / law need not apply. The spirit of the game should capture this.
Having the game solely managed by third umpires looking at a inflexible rules is the start of the end for me.
Its funny though, because post SA 2018, Cummins could have come out of this a hero whilst still winning the test match. He would have been hailed as a true sportsmen and kept a huge amount of support going into the third test.
However, he has woken up the English team, the coaches and the media. Headingly will be a bear pit where England must win at all costs.
He failed to adhere to 'never interrupt your enemy when he's making a mistake'.
@@neilchapman4037 "invented by gentlemen for gentlemen"
Bollocks. Is it 'gentlemanly' to aim a 90mph bouncer at a Batsman's head? Ask Steve Smith about that & he'll say it's fine even after almost getting beheaded by Jofra Archer. If 'gentlemen' played the sport, then EVERY ball would be bowled aimed at the wicket and only shin pads would be required.
This is a professional sport, played by professional sportsmen. In pro sports, you play to the RULES.
@@neilchapman4037Bairstow is the culprit and will go down as a bad sport. He didn’t even show respect to the opposition team by checking where the ball was, also didn’t respect the umpire’s decision, which is written if the Spirit of the game rules , Bairstow isn’t playing in the spirit of the game
@@bloodangels-sonsofsanguini7992 he was showing respect by his expectation that Aus wouldnt stoop so low ... He probably thought he was playing India or NZ
The bad sportsmanship was on full display in the Long Room from the members. Absolutely appalling.
Not allowing England to win is unsportsmanlike.
🤣🤣
Spot on 😂
Desperation because they know they're going to lose every match in the Test series!
Winning at all costs is the Australian way. Which is why two of the current players were banned for 12 months from the game.
Not allowing a English batsman too make up the rule for when he thinks I'll just walk out of the crease is unsportsmanlike.
Bairstow wasn't playing in the spirit of the game when he was too arrogant to turn around and check where the ball was
Turn it up Piers, Bairstow & McCullum both have made or attempted to make dismissals in the same manner, a cricketing tragic like you should know that. The only thing I have seen not in the spirit of the game was when Brett Lee almost put you in hospital when you foolishly faced him in the nets 😂
Nope, that was totally deserved! Haha
What faced Brett Lee I didn't know he had suicidal tendencies
Test cricket is not a charity, or a backyard game. These are professionals sportsman with statistics to achieve and mortgages to pay. The rules exist and Bairstow was legitimately out according to the referee. Here in Australia, replays showed that Bairstow has a history of being out of his crease. The crease rule exists because it impacts competitiveness. It was Bairstow himself who created an opportunity for the Australian players. Take responsibility.
its in the backyard we learn never to leave our crease!
Piers is just another whinging Pom. Take the L and move on.

Correct want to play cards join a Bridge club
So warn him ..." Hey Jonny youre take the piss mate , do it again and you'll be back in the hutch"
Hey Piers… Carey released the ball before JB had even marked his crease with his foot… that’s how quick he was 😂
exactly this. Haven't seen anyone make this point yet.
Oh you and your facts
@@jimmyriddle5246 obtained from the incident itself… yes those facts… there’s video available for you to enjoy those facts, called the replay of the dismissal.
So Bairstow left the crease without bothering to check where the ball was. Wasn’t this being disrespectful to his fellow players ? Surely this isn’t in the spirit of the game?
If Carey fumbled, Bairstow would've happily taken the byes
Don't take your eyes off an Australian because he will happily take a swing at you from behind your back.
So if Carey was standing over the stumps and Bairstow wandered out and was stumped would that be against the spirit of the game?
@@pauljeffrey1181 Carey followed the MCC laws of cricket. The umpires agreed. Just about every ex England player / captain I’ve seen interviewed has said it was in the rules and fair to do. If Bairstow had looked where the ball was and respected Carey (doing his job) he wouldn’t have been out. (Also, didn’t Bairstow try to do this in the Aus first innings, but he wasn’t good enough?j)
If the MCC have an issue, then perhaps they should change the rules, instead of behaving like geriatric hooligans.
England have played an exiting style of cricket for the last year or so and have had many victories (11/15 from memory). But now they are up against a different opponent.
England seem to put a lot of pressure on their sporting teams and when things are going well, it’s great. But, when the tied turns ….
Most commentators have also recognised that England have not played well in this series. They have had the toss, the weather and been in game winning positions, but have not seen it through.
Perhaps all of this energy and emotion should be used to think about how the English team need to continue to improve, rather then blame others?
@@JeffGinnivan-wp6yk if he caught the ball and did it in one motion AND if Bairstow had left his crease without the umpires calling ‘over’ or he checked with Carey - then yes, he would be out again.
Hopefully as a professional cricketer he knows the rules. Just like all of the England ex players and captains do.
Word of the year so far (do Wisden do such a thing) - Dozy.
As Richard Dawkins, one of the greatest intellectuals of the 21 century said of Piers Morgan after having been interviewed by him, “He is a Fool!” And a sanctimonious one at that.
Englands spirit of cricket was on full visibility during 2019 WC😂
When Piers Morgan talks about integrity and honesty, one just has to laugh.
English captain Paul Collingwood against NZ was asked by umpire Mark Benson if he would reverse an out decision against NZ’s Grant Elliot. He replied no. The English bowler Ryan Sidebottom blocked Bensons path getting to the crease (possibly accidentally?) and the delay caused Elliot to be run out. So much for the spirit of cricket. As to cheating… English player Moeen Ali fined for ball tampering in the VERY FIRST TEST of THIS TEST SERIES!!! Australia suspended their best 3 players for doing the same, including the then top batsman in the world (he maybe still is?). Remember English Captain Michael Atherton ball tampering in 1994 etc etc etc. There are many English examples of “cheating”… like “lolly-gate” for example…. and today they are “the pot calling the kettle black”. The real issue in this 2nd Test for the English is that they lost the match.
Not forgetting Mr Atherton also at lords those years ago!
but thats different..theyre English:)
Moin Ali was not fined for tampering, he did not inform umpires of using medicine, the rest I agree with.
Nicely put. 👍
Damn, Piers Morgan dropped the ball hard on this one. 😂
What happened was well within the rules, Bairstow was careless and it costed him his wicket.
Carey threw the ball at the stumps BEFORE Bairstow had left the crease. It landed at the stumps after Bairstow was out of his ground. Perfect stumping. This Spirit of the Game argument is total nonsense.
As Ollie Robinson said after the first test, "I don't really care how it is perceived to be honest, it's the Ashes, it's professional sport," he said.
"If you can't handle that, what can you handle?"
Perhaps Kawaja should has given Bairstow a send off like Ollie did, "f*** off, you f***ing prick" .Would that have been in the spirit of the game?
After all, "We all want that theatre of the game' as Ollie said.
"When you're in the heat of the moment and you have the passion of the Ashes, that can happen," Robinson said.
"and just because the shoe is on the other foot, it's not received well."
PS. Piers Morgan, English cricket have skeletons in their closet too, so if you want to start digging ... I can recite plenty of skeletons.
Sportsmanship means playing within the rules, displaying good manners, showing respect for opponents. The English have lost sight of their hypocrisy.
“Showing respect for the opponent” that’s where you have it wrong. Australia had the audacity to take twenty wickets in a match & win the game, totally disrespecting England, who apparently have now won two tests. How dare those colonials.
After all, the Aussies did not make that decision. The umpire made that decision. Bairstow tasted hisnown medicine and he doesn't like it. 😂
I agree with you, but in fairness, I don't think Bairstow himself has whinged about it.
Unlike some of his compatriots, I suspect he knows that he's got nobody to blame but himself.
If you can't win, whine. ~Piers Morgan
If that happened to an Australian player, the poms would be all laughing their heads off about it. But when it happened to them it was a big crime apparently.
MCC: These are the Laws.
Every batsmen in the world: OK, we will stay in our crease until the ball is dead.
Jonny the Sad Petulant Clown: The Laws don't apply to me, because I'm special.
Aussies: We will apply the Laws exactly as written, and as we obey them.
Umpires: Out
Spirit of Cricket: Respect the Umpires' decision.
MCC: F*k the Umpires, obeying our Laws is cheating.
French Philosophers: Obeying the Laws is cheating? Of course that makes sense....
Ben Stokes & Rishi Sunak: I wouldn't want to win that way.
Reality: you got your wish.
Baz: I'm taking the moral high ground.
Everyone who's met Baz: [falls over laughing]
Baz again: I'm not going to drink beer with the Aussies.
Aussies: nobody asked.
Geoff Boycott: [spots an opportunity to get on TV] It's all about winning, not how you play the game
[A few moments laterrrr]
Geoff Boycott: It's all about the spirit of cricket.
Atherton, Hussein, Vaughn, Broad, Morgan, Butcher etc: It's professional cricket, every schoolboy knows you have to stay in your crease. Bairstow is a goon.
English TV: no way we are talking to those guys. We'll dredge every canal and nursing home to find someone who will repeat our narrative..
Piers Morgan: Dribble dribble, Stuart Broad, integrity, how much cognitive dissonance can I fit into one 7 minute sentence...
The rest of the the cricketing world: shut up England, you're just embarrassing yourselves.
Albo: Same old Aussies, always winning.
Scoreboard: Australia 2, England 0
Pretty sure that when you look up 'whingeing pom' in the Macquarie Dictionary, there's a photo of Piers Morgan staring right at you.
😂😂
well you see poor old Johnny tried doing the same but he just missed the stumps.
Piers, I vividly remember Stuart Broard caught behind in 2013 Ashes. Worst umpire decision in history gave him not out. He didn't walk. Was that in the Spirit of the Game?
Not caught behind. Caught in the slips.
Stop being so gentle on him.
caught in first slip my man! not by the keeper
The umpire decided he wasn't out.............what ......wait.........
Ben Stokes 2019 - Headingly - he is plumb in front with just 2 runs needed - Australia did not have any reviews left. Why did not stokes walk? 2019 WC final - Ball sped to boundary after deflecting off stokes bat while he is trying to reach the crease. Why did not he say to the umpires to not award him the boundary in the spirit of cricket ?
LBW is the umpires' decision, and a batsman has to wait for it.
That's a poor comparison.
try to accept the defeat first - if you guys won the WC 2019 based on boundary count shamelessly then this run out was absolutely perfect - you guys don't have any rights to say Aussies cheated.
The real disgrace to the cricket is English team -they will not digest the opponent winning
Pier Morgan's view is complete bollocks. The batsman doesn't decide when the over ends; Carey's actions were continuous and instant. Bairstow countenanced Carey's actions by trying to do the same in both the first and 2nd tests - unsuccessfully because he is a 2nd-rate wicketkeeper who is being soundly outperformed by Carey in this series so far. Stuart Broad - a very loud critic will always be reviled for hitting a fat edge to slip in the 2013 Ashes and not leaving the crease. THAT particular piece of footage matches the underarm - Carey's actions never will.
My countryman McCullum has acted "outside the spirit of the game" on multiple occasions (taking out the Zimbabwe player on his first tour, the Murali in a massively embarrassing moment for all New Zealanders in 2016, and later Collingwood). Then we have Collingwood (part of England management) failing to withdraw an appeal for run out when Ryan Sidebottom rugby tackled Grant Elliott so badly that Elliott was seriously injured and couldn't continue.
The one thing Piers ignores is the unending amount of hypocrisy attaching to this Pommy team and their ridiculous comments. So for him to speak about integrity is laughable. Perhaps the only Pom to show any integrity is Bairstow who has kept is mouth shut in light of his schoolboy-stupid actions.
"Baz" has lost 16 times in tests to Aussie now....I look forward to that heading closer to 19 over the coming weeks !!
Um, Bairstow tried the exact same thing in this game so great thinking from Carey
Oh well that stumping controversy was badly needed for Poms to hide their 2-0 down... And that too was against a 10 men Aussie team
BAIRSTOW TRIED TO DO THE SAME THING 2 DAYS BEFORE
You know when Piers gets involved he's inciting something to get his ratings up.
He's Mr Entertainment for sure.
As soon as Piers talks about this... I start thinking of the time he faced Brett Lee, and then I smile.
Yeah I remember that and Brett said he was going at 3/4 pace if I remember. Should have thrown down a few really fast ones at him. 😂😂
He also left his crease trying to charge him & got absolutely hammered!!
Now that was gold!
His stupid mouth got him into trouble then & he still hasn't learnt!
Totally legit out. When looked at in real time, the ball was live, the wicketkeeper immediately did what any good wicketkeeper should do. People seem to have forgotten that Australia were denied a clean catch during a critical point in the match. Why did the England batsman not walk? The answer is because you play to the conditions and the call of the umpire. It is a professional sport. The MCC members who booed, need to grow up.
Shouldn't of rubbed it on the floor then.
It was not a clean catch, he grassed it in saving himself. This is instilled in you in schoolboy cricket.
Bairstow made a point of scratching his foot behind the line before leaving the crease at the end of the over. This showed he was not attempting to take a run. It might have been within the strict interpretation of the rules but the Aussies wanting to take a wicket in that fashion is frankly embarrassing.
@@user-kh9ql7si6g Exactly, shouldn't have wandered out of his crease then.
@@mrradman2986 Look at it again, the ball flies past the batsman and into the wicketkeepers gloves, he then quickly throws the ball at the stumps. The tapping of crease with Bairstow's foot occurs after the ball has left the keepers hands. The keeper simply predicted Bairstow would leave his crease as he has a tendency to do. Top class wicketkeeping, second rate batting.
@@mrradman2986trust me, you wining about it is embarresing. you said it is strictly in the rule book. that is what matters. england have also left "sportsmanship" inside the closet on more than one occasion. so no real issue here. bad losing always look bad, no matter who is doing it
forgot to mention that jonny did it 2 days prior to marcus, and missed the stumps cuz he cant throw
Captaining the Australian cricket team is the most scrutinised position in the land, especially since sandpaper gate. To see Pat front the media with grace and conviction, not put a step out of line on or off the field, and lead from the front with amazing grit and competitiveness makes me proud of our team once again. I think the overwhelming majority of Australians feel the same.
I saw a clip of bairstow where he collects the ball, pauses and waits for the batsman to lift his foot then proceeds to whip off the bails and it was labelled smart but here Carey throws the ball in one motion without any pauses bairstow was still in the crease when the ball was in the air. English team and media are hypocrites to the core, just accept the mistake and move on.
Brilliant!
Yep V Patel, and he was praised for it. These whinging poms are gold
Just need to define whether the batsman is in the crease when a choice is made to stump. In both cases yes.
What’s not in the spirit of the game is the behaviour of the Lord’s members. Home of cricket more like the home of 5th graders.
Morgan is biased AF
Piers I usually enjoy your commentary especially about Aitch n M. On this occasion you've got it wrong! Bairstow was clearly runout within the rules of the game. And what a disgrace is the behaviour of the Members booing and abusing the Aussie cricketers.
What Bairstow did was so breathtakingly stupid that many England fans just can't get their head around it. So they humiliate themselves desperately trying to deflect the blame.
Kiwi here - the villany of the Aus men’s cricket team is part of our national narrative.
However, in this case I don’t think Alex Carey is the bounder and cad that you’re making him out to be.
Most batsmen do in fact bother to check that the ball is dead before they go wandering out of their ground.
Yep.
You Kiwis have always pointed out to us Aussies that the underarm incident was wrong, to which I've always replied in the same way: that 99.9 percent of Australians agree with you. If you doubt that, watch the original footage and listen to the 50,000-plus Melbourne crowd booing their own team off the field.
But I think I speak for most Aussies when I say this: we feel no repentance over the Bairstow incident, and the Poms should stop being so bloody hypocritical about it.
100% correct.
Every 10 year old in Australia (& I assume NZ) get told that when they start to play!
I guess Bairstow wasn't listening!
Bairstow did not leave the crease thinking the umpire had called 'over' and the ball was dead.
He has a habit of walking down the pitch and using his bat to pad-down the spot where the last delivery hit. To do that he keeps a mental image of the impact point. This image fades rather quickly, so he trots off soon as he can. When he was stumped, he trotted off without taking care if the ball was alive or not (which explains why Stokes was behind his own crease). In the video, Bairstow's eyes are fixed on the area of the last delivery and mindlessly walks toward it. Carey had previously observed Bairstow's habit and threw at the stumps.
And, the Brits need to explain why Bairstow tried to stump (also from way back) Labuschagne a few days earlier when Australia was 79-1 in over 30.
Brits?
English and Welsh.
@@andrewoliver8930 I was attempting to be polite (unlike some Marylebone Cricket Club members).
Personally, I always call 'em Poms.
The Ashes are our 'War of Independence.'
@electronwave4551 Scotland and Northern Ireland are separate from the England team, that is all.
The pissed up public school boys in the long room need to behave themselves.
Absolutely correct. By all means you are allowed to pad down the spots in the pitch - but ONLY when the umpire declares over.
Atherton, Vaughan and countless others have called it - it was legit. Bairstow (hero that he was for the Just Stop Oil protest) lost the plot - I think the word oft used was "dozey", The "It's just not cricket" applies when the rules do not cover the circumstance - in this case they did..
Love the brackets - (hero that he was for the Just Stop Oil protest)
The main problem for the English Public, commentators and cricketers is they expected to just win, even before series started carrying on like they had already won series.
England never played in the "spirit " during the 2019 World Cup final (deflection). What about when Broard breaking the hand of a player by throwing the ball at his hand. Or the countless other moments. Even Mccullum literally did the samething to Zimbabwe and Sri Lankan players...... grow up and play the sport
"Spirit of cricket" - When Brits lose and need excuse to hide their faces .
They're just mad because he got out so soon after becoming a hero for the eco-protesters incident. The thing is, Australians dislike eco-protesters just as much as the English do.
English and Welsh...
It was the long room tragic that displayed poor sportsmanship, not any of the players.
Broad helping to incite the crowd didn’t go unnoticed.
“ the long room is very welcoming “ - yeah as long as you’re not black, Jewish, gay or a woman.
It's such bad sportsmanship from the British to be complaining when they attempted the same thing not once but twice... in the same Test.
@@aawe1 English and Welsh. Not British.
@@andrewoliver8930 Fair
BS Piers!! Most batsmen would look back to see if the keeper had thrown the ball to another fielder or bowler,or if Carey had began walking or running to the other end OR awaited the umpire to call "OVER".At least a few seconds protecting your crease before you wander off.Bairstow had a brain fade and left his crease,brilliant quick response from Carey to stump him.
Correct
Expecting an opposition team not to run you out or stump you when you're out of your ground while the ball is not dead is disrespectful and hence contrary to the spirit of cricket.
Gentle qualities of cricket they called it bodyline and tried to maim the aussie batsman
Brilliant piece of fielding. You got to defend your wicket and Bairstow failed to do so. That’s good cricket.
No honour was abandoned here , a mistake was made by the batsmen and Carey had the awareness and skill to take advantage. That’s what sport is all about. We witnessed something great.
Gaining an advantage has nothing to do with it. How often are batsmen trying to gain an advantage when they get stumped? This was just a stumping that required more skill.
PMSL ...
I totally agree. If it was planned, than this was some great planning on their part.
Staying in your crease is a basic instruction given to every 10 year old playing cricket!
However, after watching Morgan leaving his crease & charging at Brett Lee, (& getting creamed), I can understand why this buffoon thinks it's ok to leave your crease without getting out!
Maybe we should get rid of stumpings all together, including spinners.
This is getting ridiculous, English should look in the mirror not make excuses. They are just embarrassing themselves
I would like Mr Morgan to disclose if he has ever played cricket - particularly as a dedicated batsman. If he ever has, he would well know, this is one of the oldest, and most well known rules (and ways to go out). As a batsman you learn this very early in school, then club cricket. You very much protect your wicket - by staying in your crease, until absolutely the over (and ball) is dead. It's total nonsense to say this dismissal "is not in the spirit of the game". This sort of dismissal happens ALL the time. And it is in the rule book for a very good reason. To respect the umpires authority (by declaring "over") and to respect other players, by not constantly dancing down the pitch and wrecking it. The same dismissal can also occur at the other end by the way (bowler inadvertently losing the ball or intending to break the stumps with the runner out of his/her crease). In this case, wicket keepers of ALL levels try to do it, at least once nearly every match. I have seen this exact same dismissal multiple times, and I have NEVER seen anybody recalled to the crease. Or complaining the fielding team "were not acting in the spirit of the game". To the contrary, usually a batsman is so embarrassed they keep walking straight off *before* the umpire gives their decision. What is not "in the spirit of the game", Mr Morgan is Bairstow, the England captain, other English players (and even people like yourself) not accepting the decision, then tainting the sport (putting it into disrepute), along with the MCC, and the umpires. By not accepting the decision quietly and respectfully both during the game, then by going on and on and on about it after the game, it is the *English* players "who are not acting in the spirit of the game". Stop being such a grandstander Mr Morgan. We well know why you are doing it - (ratings) and you simply present yourself as foolish - in that you are clearly showing (by your comments) you've never actually played any serious (or even social) cricket in your entire life.
But Barstow did the same thing in the same test on day 3.
And he didn't have the skill to pull it off.
@@KM-xx4oo facts
Sportsmanship in the Long Room, Yeah.
England is strangely producing pitches that resemble roads. Just so it helps Bazball. Is that good sports? really? We just finished India where the first tests were on pitches in which the match struggled to reach 3 days. Then in the final tests it was a pure road and impossible to get a wicket. None of that happens in Australia. We produce pitches to produce good cricket not the home team.
At the risk of agreeing with an Australian, that is true. I can understand the subcontinent producing spinners wickets when they were poor, and couldn't afford irrigation but that's no longer the case. The ICC should set standards for pitches, but India is very powerful and will never agree, mores the pity
@@joedennehy386 It made a couple of our kids Murphy and Kuhnmann look like superstars. Both of them have barely played first class State cricket. Yet were getting big bags of wickets in India. Then a complete batting paradise so drawing series was impossible. They also had a few pitches on the go, and weren't happy when Australia hung around so that the pitch could be identified the day before.
I reckon England is trying to play mind games and put more pressure on Australia. Not the right thing either. But having said that there is a chance that England is just trying to drive their own performance to be more competititve.
Wait a second, it's like we have made the rules of the game but if you dare apply them on us then that will be against the spirit of the game !
Bairstow refused to do the courtesy of looking at the keeper, something even juniors know to do. Got what he deserved. Something he attempted to do multiple times, without the coordination to hit the stumps. Whinging in defence of stupidity is expected of the English cricket team, just as winning is expected of the Australian team.
That was the best Ashes match I've watched since 2005 = Stokes was extraordinary, and yet, you lot are obsessed with a stumping that was within the rules, and totally legit.
Got to agree, Stoke's innings was one for the ages.
Also agree, the focus should have been on that!
England cheating 03. Murray mints. Morgan has no idea. Atherton cheating in 94. Morgan a joke
Same McCullum ran out in the same manner when muralidharan went out the crease to celebrate sanga's century..and he is now unsure to have beer with the Aussie.. hypocrisy
How did Bairstow know the over was finished? He didn’t look back once. It was a bouncer that could have gone anywhere. Bairstows arrogance (not stupidity) cost him his wicket.
How much ‘spirit of the game’ was displayed by the entitled old men in the pavilion?
Maradonna cheated. The sandpaper was cheating and Chappell cheated. There was no cheating at Lords yesterday. If you want to compare apples to apples, have a look at Bairstows attempt to run out the Aussie batsman in EXACTLY THE SAME WAY in the previous innings.
The glory was in winning against an entitled and arrogant team who denied the use of a runner to an injured legend of the game in what was has probably been his last test in English soil.
Exactly Piers. Honesty, Integrity and fair play....like not walking after the worlds biggest edge.
the English decided that the rules of cricket needed to be applied by the letter of the law in regard to Starcs non catch, yet dont want the rules of cricket to be applied by the letter of the law to Bairstows stumping. Surely you would have to be an absolute moron to not realise the Aussies would take that stance once England had.
Bairstow was extremely lazy and got caught napping. No one is talking about his dropped catches and missed stumping which has cost his side dearly. His dismissal is a symptom of his all too casual approach.
Give up Piers. Typical whinging Poms. If the play was legal, then Australia wins it. The spirit of the game is to win. If England had the chance to do it, don't you think they would at that crucial point in the game. Give up Piers. Once again whinging POMS.
On his show today piers has played whataboutism with an underarm ball over 40 years ago, his guest cited body line 90 years ago (all them dudes are now dead), and mentioned sandpaper from 4 years ago which was cheating but completely different to this incident and the bloke that did it no longer in the team . There is a reason most English commentators are saying it was a legitimate wicket and they would have maintained the appeal (Vaughn, Atherton, Morgan etc ) . Stop whining piers .
well said
neither did he mention Atherton using Dirt in pocket to sand the ball!
England is more than guilty of trying to do the same thing
Selective memory at work here by Piers. Labelled the Aussie cricket team as cheats for sandpapergate but conveniently forgets about mints, sunscreen and zippers used by the English team.
This game runs on Laws and not modesty, so fuck the spirit of the game. The Umpires have the supreme authority to interpret the laws.
Piers ... WOW ... just WOW ... Cricket 101 ... Fielders try your best to knock those little bits of wood off those 3 stumps so as to get the batters out ... batting side try not to get out by flashing your bat at the ball to stop it hitting the stumps or by keeping your foot or bat grounded between the line on the ground and the 3 stumps ... if in doubt let the umpires decide ... I can't see what all the drama is about.
Piers, as any 10 year old knows, Bairstow had to call “crease leave”! He didn’t and got caught cheating!!!
Piers , moral compass of a scorpion
That's very unfair on scorpions mate. 😂
If Bairstow was injured and left the crease due to iniury, then we can talk about spirit of the game. Until then it's the mistake of Bairstow who forgot to signal players or umpires that he is walking out of crease.
The English whinging about a sporting loss, what a complete shock! When Elliot was run out by the English after colliding with the English bowler did the English apply the spirit of the game, nope. When Broad clearly edged the ball and was caught but for some bizarre reason was not given out, did the English apply the “spirit of the game”, nope. When Bairstow tried the very same thing to Marnus, did the English speak to Bairstow about the “spirit of the game”, nope. It’s laughable that the English try to preach about the moral high ground. Just another example of the English whinging after a loss. And that’s why they have the reputation as being sore losers.
Whinging poms
Then there is Geof Boycot e mouthing off. The man who single handedly nearly destroyed test cricket
Yep, so much so, his own team ran him out to get the game moving!
Bairstow tried to do the exact same thing to Manus 2 days earlier......karma's bitch
Was Bodyline in the spirit of the game? Bowling at the head with no helmets, spirit of the game? Whinging POMS!!
Bodyline was in the rules but utterly wrong and a disgrace to the game. Australia made it clear it destroyed the spirit of cricket and they were right. The instigators Jardine and Larwood did pay the ultimate price - they hardly played for England again. I am more intrigued to know if David Warner, Steven Smith and Patrick Cummins would still be using sandpaper even now, if they hadn't been caught red handed. I wonder!
@@thomridgeway1438would England still being using mints and dirt if they hadn’t been caught? Hmm 🤔
@@thomridgeway1438 Cumming wasn't involved with the sandpaper but the players that were got a years suspension how long did the English player get for using lollies to change the ball or Atherton for carrying apocket of dirt to rub the ball with
There is a clear difference!!! Bairstow wasn’t trying to gain an advantage by walking out of his crease walking towards his teammate thinking the ball was dead. When Bairstow tried to stump Labuschagne in the 2 inning Marnus went out of his crease to play the ball and manipulate the English bowlers trying to gain an advantage and there is the rub. When somebody is trying to gain an advantage it’s in the spirit of the game to punish the player but in case of Bairstow it’s just a cheap shot undermining the spirit of the game which should be fair and just!!!
What you saw in the clear was the "Dark side of Lords". Is the new spirit of the game, a British invention for intentional wins? What Broad said to Carey after this, was pure bullying and shut out any spirit of the the game if there was any at all.
Well the rules of the game must be followed even if it means taking advantage of them, and if the rules can be taken advantage of then the rules need to be revised. Australians simply followed the rules and they have beaten the “pommy bastards” plenty of times in the spirit of the game. 💪🏻😎🤠🏆
I love how the English players (Broad, Robinson etc) are doing all the talking in the media and Australia is letting their cricket do all the talking! Go Aussie you good thing
I think Piers and Broady are right. At 2-0 down in the Ashes, England need all the help they can get in order to not have their feelings hurt by being embarrassed at home. Therefore I've drawn up some new rules for the MCC to apply to only England:
1. No stumpings (obviously)
2. Electric wickie
3. One hand, one bounce
4. Can't get out first ball
5. If the opposition hit a 6, its 6 and out
6. When England lose, they also get a trophy
Winging & wining is a favourite English pastime 👍
77 years. That is the combined age of Englands opening bowlers. Reckon that had a bit to do with it as well. Pop-gun attack.
Pot calling the kettle black. Bairstow 2 days earlier.
Middle aged white guys. Longroom nursery, dummies out of the cot, you come up with these rules, go have Strawberries and ice-cream at Wimbledon. Tim Henman is 48 years old. He could still play you know, wheel him out.
No Piers you got it wrong , if you get the chance to view the timing of the ball leaving the keepers hands, He throws the ball at the stumps instantly when Bairstow is still IN HIS crease > the ball hits the stumps as Bairstow walks out of crease
Piers needs to delve into past test matches to see Bairstow has done the same thing to other countries.
Bairstow has done the same throw in the county matches before the Ashes test. How is this any different? Apparently it is not in the Spirit of the Game because England lost the Match. Question: did the English Captain Appeal the decision? Answer is NO.
If England had done that to win there’d be silence!
As there was when DeGrandhome was run out under the same circumstances
I certainly don't think of the English when I hear the words: honour, integrity and fair play.
