No , this doesn’t happen to every team every week . The Freo players around the touched ball were in involuntary unison the ball was touched ..and it was of course . The ball should have been recalled and bounced at where the ball was touched ; or at least where the non mark was taken .
It was a very bad mistake which cost Freo the game .
Footy Fix: No, the umpires didn't gift Carlton the game - but Freo sure did
Just as well ! It’s rather rare to see Warner so composed . No..let me correct that . Unique I should say . I can’t remember another such occasion . Can you?
'Wouldn't be summer without a headline': David Warner's classy response to Johnson sledge
Perhaps he should address the issue . As it is he has avoided it .Johnson has said he is surprised about the circumstances of his (Warner’s ) proposed going and disagrees with it .. Why not reply to what Johnson said ?
'Wouldn't be summer without a headline': David Warner's classy response to Johnson sledge
Read what I said : ..or so Warner has told us of his modest hopes of it .i.e.. his departure .
Johnson 'low act' branded 'un-Australian' as Triple M reinstate fast bowler despite Warner brouhaha
Warner was far from dignified when he weepingly confessed to to his central role in Sandpapergate . However there was an element of dignity in that he admitted his part in a hitorical blot on the history of australian cricket .
'Wouldn't be summer without a headline': David Warner's classy response to Johnson sledge
Advice … from whom ?
How did he show that he was prepared to take this unstated advice ?
Johnson is the child in Hans Christian Anderson’s tale of the emperor who had no clothes .
Warner has admitted publicly his integral part in Sandpapergate ..An odious episode which will be reported and spoken of for a hundred years.We remember his weepy television performance .
Now he chooses his departure time , venue and , it seems . his departing status .
Johnson has said : this player , Warner , has no clothes and further , he is no emperor
He does , however , get an emperor’s floral deparure . Or so Warner has told us of his modest hopes of it .

Johnson’s comments were once called plain speaking . We have too many measured , gentle , euphemisic opinion pieces that no one reads or heeds . Johnson spoke without ambiguity and no one could misunderstand his opinion . Strength to his arm ..and his pungent diction .

After Sandpapergate we were told there would be a cultural change in the Australian team . It took a formal enquiry to find that ????
I gave away these foolish and embarrasing representatives of Australia a long,long time ago .Long before Sandpapergate . Even Alan Border conceded the Australian team was not popular .
So what was the result of this change of culture ?amRunning out/stumping a batsman who thought that a hundred years of established precedence was sufficient to protect his wicket .
Not against the Ugly Australians alas ! They admitted that that reformed post culture era report adventure was planned .
Cricket has been diminished to a street mob fight between the Capulets and the Montagues.
We are all diminished by the the conduct of this team .How very sad for a once noble game .

You’ve enlarged the scope of what we were discussing and that is the respective responses of the Lord’s pavillion and the infamous Bay 13.
I was pointing to the differences with Bay 13 , which you initially raised .
To go beyond that is quite another argument . If you can’t address the issue then you have lost the argument .I’m sure that was pointed out to you even in primary school.
‘Wouldn’t even enter my mind to do that’: Bairstow reignites Ashes stumping furore, accuses Aussies of claiming unfair catches
Perhaps I should add that Bickel was not party to that combined appeal as replays show . As he said after bowling that ball my head was still down and I didnt see the ball passing the bat . I accept that as replays show .
'An absolute disgrace': Broad lifts lid on fiery Cummins clash over Bairstow incident - and how the Aussie captain bit back
It depends what you define as a signicant match . Does that include English County championship matches .. Sheffield Shield ?
Cowdrey was a walker although the Australians always thought it was only when it suited him and the result was clear . I have seen him walk .
The Rev. David Shepherd was a walker .I have seen him walk .
Traditionally English county players were walkers if they were ( oddly ) professionals . Not to walk when a fellow profesional got you out was taking the bread out of a fellow professional’s mouth . Wisden records that .
Yes , Gilchrist walked not against England but… Sri Lanka !
He was upbraided by his captain and his team mates for that .
Don’t do that again , they said . To my knowledge he never did .
'An absolute disgrace': Broad lifts lid on fiery Cummins clash over Bairstow incident - and how the Aussie captain bit back
I have seen Australian batsmen pick up the ball when it was still alive and return it to the fieldsman .
I can’t recall an appeal ffor handling the ball .
Perhaps that will now change …sadly .

One incident that always annoyed me is Second test MCG 2001
Kallis bowled Bickel .
You might say just an umpiring blunder .
Why then did every Australian on the field go up ?
Even down at deep fine leg .
It was clear to most that the Australians had rehearsed a total team appeal when Kallis missed outside off
It worked . Kallis out when he missed it by six inches.
Even the Members were silent .

The word incensed has a lexicographical component which indicates it is a response to a cause which engendered anger . In this matter the cause was the the Australian’s act of stumping .
I have no doubt that the members were abusive because they were incensed .
But Bay 13 were habitually abusive without good reason . Their abuse stood alone , particularly after lunch .
It’s not as if the Australian team had no prior record of conduct unbecoming .
‘Wouldn’t even enter my mind to do that’: Bairstow reignites Ashes stumping furore, accuses Aussies of claiming unfair catches
No. There is a difference . The pavilion was incensed . Bay 13 never had the capacity to be incensed . Their forte was plain abuse .

Rules are rules . That was Jardine’s argument . Greg Chappells also when he instructed his brother to bowl undearm .
They were ,and still are , good old fashioned tosh .
'An absolute disgrace': Broad lifts lid on fiery Cummins clash over Bairstow incident - and how the Aussie captain bit back
No. An Australian captain complaining about an opponent not walking . Now that’s a revolution .
I can’t remember the last time an Australian player walked .

When the pavilion at Lords reacts as they did you know something of moment has occurred .They know their cricket and recognise and acknowledge fine performances.
This clinging to the “rules are rules ” and sovereign above the spirit of the game ranks with Jardine and bodyline .It was within the rules Jardine said .
Greg Chappel also played within the rules when he instructed his brother to bowl underarm . Richie Benaud soon destroyed by scorn that argument .
Australian teams for a very long time have brought ill repute to our country and dismay among those who loved the game when it was honourable .
‘Wouldn’t even enter my mind to do that’: Bairstow reignites Ashes stumping furore, accuses Aussies of claiming unfair catches
Jardine played by the rules .
Greg Chappel played by the rules .
I say they both contravened the spirit of cricket And so did an overwhelming number of my fellow Australians.
The Bairstow rules: Dusty old Laws of Cricket get rewritten so everyone plays in the right ‘Spirit’ according to Jonny
I will give you another example of the callous application of the rules of cricket : Jardine and Larwood and body line .The Australian team , quite rightly , said it contravened the spirit of the game .The Australian people did too.
Greg Chappel callously applied the laws of cricket when he intructed his brother to bowl underarm . Most of Australia were ashamed , and rightly so .
I suppose I should be forgiving of those who can’t discern hypocracy .
The Bairstow rules: Dusty old Laws of Cricket get rewritten so everyone plays in the right ‘Spirit’ according to Jonny
Rules are rules you say !
Jardine followed the rules in bodyline . It appalles me still
Chappel followed the rules by bowling underarm .It appalles me still.
Broad didnt walk because he wanted to give cheating Awstralians a taste of their own medicine .And rightly so
Australians criticising Broad for not walking is hypocracy beyond their limited comprehension .
For many years I have seen Australian teams cheat ..blatantly .
Not only did Australian teams degrade the national team but they degraded cricket .

Mind reading means you don’t require evidence .
'Wanted to hit, wanted to hurt': Brayden Maynard - the guilty man found innocent
Arrant nonsense ! On stilts !
You seems to suggest that Maynard’s conduct here should be viewed in light of his past convictions (Two weeks suspension you mention )
Sorry ! Past convictions can not be led in a hearing until the defendent is convicted of the matter before the court or Tribunal .
There is no evidence that Maynard had .a guilty mind and wanted to hurt Brayshaw . Indeed the very opposite is true . His evidence before the Tribunal makes that plain .
He was surprised to see Brayshaw under his nose .
This Tribunal made a decision on the evidence before it and is tightly argued .It was very sound . I can only suppose that is why the AFL chose not to appeal
'Wanted to hit, wanted to hurt': Brayden Maynard - the guilty man found innocent
So what exactly is your proposed new rule ?
Give us a draft .
COMMENT: The Tribunal are right - Brayden Maynard's act wasn't illegal... but from now on, it should be
I can see this happening in a grand final . The AFL should now introduce a rule for recall of the ball when it’s evident a match winning error has occurred .
The obvious rule is to recall the ball and bounce it where there is strong evidence of error . Perhaps with one umpire agreement . I note that there is a claim of evidence that one umpire did call play on .
