The Storm - the most professional team I've come across in the last 50 years,

It all depends on the bowler’s position and arm movement during the delivery. The natural position from around the wicket forces the ball towards the leg side for RH bowlers/LH batters. The bigger challenge is not to run on the protected area post delivery. I can see that bowlers would need many months of practice if they want to change from over to around the wicket, especially if they want to attack off stump and provide an edge behind, as Broad is to Warner

Ashes Scout: England line-up CONFIRMED, Cook turns up heat on Marnus, Broad's bold Warner call, Harris rebukes stopgap plan

Qld had no spark in the first half. Billy must have given them a rocket in the sheds. They tried in the 2nd half but NSW had their tails up and stood firm, winning both halves. Glad it’s all over and we can enjoy the rest of a disjointed year.

'People will go home and remember that forever': Why Fittler's hope for Blues future rests in blistering backline

But at least the Aussies can catch the ball

UK View: 'Like a virus' - Poms hail 155kph 'Rocket Man' but float bizarre Steve Waugh theory for butterfinger blows

The rules of cricket state that the keeper must dispose of the ball immediately, which Carey did, but Bairstow did not – because he was mulling an illegal and dishonest act. Shame Bairstow, Shame.

Aussies have nothing to apologise for over Bairstow's blunder: England lost because they played Blaséball

Goodon you Albo. Nailed it !!!

Prime whingers: Albo responds as British PM joins meltdown, Boycott demands apology, McCullum still sooking

It’s immaterial whether either one got an advantage. Kids are taught this rule of cricket from age 7. Stay in your crease or cop the consequences

Stuart Broad has just given Pat Cummins a lecture on moral standards. The audacity is gobsmacking

and he’s still the prince of hypocrites

Bairstow was NOT given out on a technicality and he DID contravene the Rules of Cricket even though he was not trying to gain an advantage – which is irrelevant anyway. What I can’t stand is the hypocrisy of England, Bairstow, Broad, Stokes and McCallum, who all have a track record of dubious actions on the field. 2 days earlier Bairstow tried to stump Marnus in exactly the same way. Stokes rorted New Zealand with the Grandhomme dismissal last year and McCallum has a charge sheet as long as your arm, including Sri Lanka, and even minnows Zimbabwe; not to mention Broad refusing to walk when ne was caught at 1st slip.
Can’t wait for Headingly and the Aussies grinding the whingeing Poms into extinction.

COMMENT: Cummins failed the moral test and tarnished these Ashes. He had the chance to be a legend and blew it

What a crap article, Ben and Brad…… England, Bairstowe, Stokes and McCallum should hang their hypocritical heads in shame…… IF – Bairstowe had not attempted to do the same to Marnus two days earlier, IF – McCallum did not have such a hypocritical track record on numerous occasions – THEN Pat Cummins may have called Bairstowe back or even apologised. However in view of the hypocrisy no such decisions are either deserved or required. I hope the Aussies double down at Headingly and crush the Poms into extinction. They’re pretty close to extinction anyway.

The spirit of cricket was murdered in cold blood by sunburnt thugs - and the game might never recover

Yes, but Starc caught the ball at waist height and controlled it all the way to the ground. Are you saying that every time a fielder falls over after taking a catch, it should be not out?????

UK View: 'He didn't look like a leader. He looked pathetic' - Cummins caned but Poms also skewer 'dozy' Bairstow

You live in fairyland, and even you don’t believe the rubbish you write. Your fellow Poms clutching at straws because they can’t think up a better excuse they got beaten, soundly and completely.

Hypocrite McCallum

'Worst thing I’ve ever seen in cricket': Broad, McCullum whinge about Bairstow drama but McDonald returns serve

Doubts around the Poms honesty. Using Bairstow’s legal dismissal as the reason/excuse they lost. Baistow tries the same thing multiple times when he’s keeping. Maybe it felt like they won. Have a look at the scorebook.

Aussies 2-0 up despite sensational Stokes ton as Lord's erupts over run out controversy, cheating accusations

Numerous bad choices throughout play.

'Worst thing I’ve ever seen in cricket': Broad, McCullum whinge about Bairstow drama but McDonald returns serve

Boo hoo! Jonny tried to do the same thing to Marnus on day3. Can’t catch. Can’t bat. Can’t even hit the stumps underarm. And McCallum! Cricket is littered with his faux pas!

'Worst thing I’ve ever seen in cricket': Broad, McCullum whinge about Bairstow drama but McDonald returns serve

Disgraceful from Kasey Badger. You have to look at who/what instigated the incident and that was Fogarty.
I expected Ricky to hand the win to the Titans on principle. Ha! Ha!

ANALYSIS: Another close one, another Canberra win as Ricky's Raiders again prove their ability to nick tight wins

Wasn’t Billy Slater dropped to reserve grade by Craig Bellamy in order to get his attitude right? Where is Walsh’s apology to the fans and the ref?

If the NRL are serious about protecting refs, they should have thrown the book at Reece Walsh

Walsh is beyond a joke. What other “F@#@#@#C@#@#@#” is he talking about? He didn’t have the guts to name him. His outburst was disgusting. Lying about it makes it a hundred times worse. Kevvie should make him do 10 laps around Suncorp as punishment.

Round 18 Team Lists Late Mail: Broncos shake-up, Dolphins pull surprise switch, Storm make Munster call, Roosters rattled

He’s bought the game into disrepute and there were thousands of kids present. He should get 2 weeks minimum

The 124kph nude nut bowler spruiking himself up on Wisden. I thought Wisden was a respectable organization. Why don’t they ban this idiot?

Ashes Scout: Broad bags Aussie hypocrites over Robinson sledging, Head hits back, Gardner shines to put tourists on top

or telling us how he got a knighthood for getting 7 runs.

UK View: Stokes an 'untamed rebel who's too stubborn' and Springsteen concert that showed why Pat's the Boss

Or maybe the Knights were interested?

'Totally gutted' and 'pissed off' Holbrook axed for Hasler, Meninga also on way out of Titans - but no progress yet on Hunt

Well P.I.E., the only certainty about this Ashes series is that it doesn’t need saving. Regardless of Bazball, the crowds turned up in droves and TV ratings in the rest of the world went through the roof, despite the poor performance of SKY and 9. Let’s see what happens after 2 or 3 more tests and whether your pommie cousins are still sprouting Bazball, and whether McCallum and Stokes have still got a job.

'It might not survive': Bazball is a cult and Poms should be embarrassed about claiming they're Test cricket's saviours

Will he get fined a good slice of his match fee?

UK View: 'Hardly angelic' - Poms react to 'ironic indignation' after Uzzy abuse, Green hailed as 'finest' of all time

Turn the sound off. You don’t need it.

Ad nauseum: Channel Nine's coverage of the Ashes is not up to standard
