In Ashes parlance the “spirit of cricket” = “kill the bastar.s!”

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

If they had batted with just a smidge of patience in the important periods and Johnny held his catches the result could easily be 2-0 the other way.
English attitude wrong. The Kiwis don’t understand Ashes cricket. The “spirit of cricket” in The Ashes only extends to “ kill the Basta..s!”

Northern View: Cummins should have spared Bairstow, McGrath owes an apology, and end of an era for England

Australia should refuse to walk through the members area until they learn some manners.

Oh please!

The only people destroying the spirit of cricket were the Lords members behaving like a bunch of boorish bar louts.
The spirit of the Ashes is hard uncompromising cricket played within the letter of the law. There’s no room for mercy.
Cummins is a legend for using the letter of the law to advantage.
The carry on by commentators and spectators is the real travesty and reflects poorly on the English. You are behaving like babies.

Stokes may be a great player but talking about spirit of cricket is pathetic. Your job is to win the Ashes at all costs. Get on with it.

I don’t think I’ve seen a team of bigger cry babies than this English team.
If they don’t harden up they’ll lose 5-0.

Moaning about spirit of cricket and carrying on like pork chops over an entirely legitimate dismissal is pathetic.

It’s not our fault your keeper is brain dead. He’s been hopeless all series and is probably the main reason you are 2-0 down.

I congratulate the Aussies for reducing Lords members to a bunch of boorish bar louts.

Well done lads. Keep it up!

Cry some more you babies!
The Aussies did exactly the right thing.
This isn’t tiddly winks it’s the Ashes.
It’s not our fault your wicket keeper is brain dead.
And your Lords members are more like boorish bar louts than gentlemen.

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

He did the right thing. The members shouldn’t have been behaving like a bunch of louts.
Apology was made and accepted. Incident over.

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

Some members lost control of themselves. Very poor form.

The dismissal was legitimate and well within the spirit of the game. Are the Poms aware this is an Ashes series?

“Sore losers” comes to mind

Extremely poor form from the Lords members. The boorish mob have infiltrated the inner sanctum.
