Not surprised. A few people clearly crossed the line in the long room. Khawaja is pretty laid back and he was fuming.

Fcxk um

And Aussie crowds don't sometimes cross the line?

 

Perhaps it's not right, but I'm actually OK with fire meeting fire in this case, if it contributes to a positive result.

Depends what was specifically said?

I doubt it will be much worse than what has been said to English players in Australia in the past.

I didnt suggest that they didn't. But something bad was clearly said to the Australian players and you can't have that.

[StanSP]

Can England get this over and done with so it's less time for KP to be on commentary... 

[kingkisnorbo]

Days like this wasted on a ground like Lords. Should be a cauldron by now.

I'm on the fence with that sentiment given what's good for the goose is good for the gander in this case tbh.

 

I know what you're saying, but meh.

Smith isn't going to sleep tonight if England knick this. 

[leicsmac]

I think Stokes figures he can get the Aussie bowlers to tire and/or thinks just a run or two an over is enough.

I'm not sure Carey is, either.

[st albans fox]

Aussies seem to think that they can just bore the game out to the new ball 

[StanSP]

Oh no

[AKCJ]

That's that then.

[leicsmac]

Goddamn. Stokes finally rolls snake eyes.

 

That is probably that, but it isn't over til it's over.

[trabuch]

Shame. And Carey too.

[HybridFox]

Ah what a shame. Unbelievable knock though

You've still got the Burnley Lara to see you home. 

[RowlattsFox]

Was always too much to do. Can't keep hitting 6s. Probably struggling with the running but should've been looking at more twos with the fields spread.

Sadly it is 

annoying 

I think a fit stokes may have been able to take on the twos 

[HighPeakFox]

Was just thinking he looked spent. Gutted.

Of course smith congratulated stokes - imagine he’d stayed in and won the game after smith dropped him 

[Lcfc-1992]

These two should start taking 1s & 2s now, doesn’t matter which is on strike

[HybridFox]

Another one bites the dust

[AKCJ]

They are just complete bellends aren't they.

[trabuch]

foolish
