Perhaps Alex Carey will apologize to Bairstow in 10 years time. :lol:

Perhaps the Aussies were still pissed off about Mitchell Stark's catch that wasn't given?

 

[TheLoneRanger]

Bairstow was trying exactly the same thing when he was behind the stumps for Yorkshire against Glam, earlier in the season.

Plus - Pope ruled out of the series with shoulder injury.

The English women no different. No shame at all fair play.

Lets get this wrapped up at Headingley and put the stiffs out for the last two tests...

Harsh on Tongue to be dropped. I would have dumped motormouth Robinson.

Superb T20 game at The Oval and England’s women win their first must win game to keep them in the Ashes.

The comeback to end all comebacks starts in Leeds tomorrow.

This is some bowling by Wood. Unplayable pace.
