Bairstow should have a shy at the stumps every ball just in case someone steps out.
Broad should stop his run up every ball just in case the non striker steps out of his crease.
England batsmen should ask Cummins every ball if they can leave the crease now.
England should ask the umpires for every catch if they are sure the fielder didn't forget he couldn't put the ball on the ground.
England batsmen should move away from the crease whenever a bowler runs in because they were distracted.
England batsmen should get new gloves at the end of every over.
Bairstow should get new keeping gloves at the end of every over.
All of these are completely within the laws. I mean completely against the spirit of the game but heh! As long as it's within the laws.
More importantly, it would be hysterical to watch.

Must say both selectors will be happy with inclusions of Wood & Marsh.
Honours even after day one.

“How wasn’t that a 4?? And why didn’t Stokes call it in the “spirit of cricket”??!!!”
While the moment isn’t likely to swing the outcome of the contest, at least we hope not, it’s hard not to watch it and laugh at the double standard in the Spirit of Cricket debate.
When it suits England the voices are quiet, but when it goes against them the outcry can be heard for miles.

Re: Ashes 2023
Dont let Hawksey dictate the course of the conversation on here......I have no problem with Smith reviewing, but his reaction to the verdict was not a good look
the bigger issue is his silence on the 'spirit of the game' double standards....at least the English commentators called it out...
other than not hearing from Hawksey,,,,,Bairstow has been silent....i wonder why?
anyway....game evenly posed. Quick wickets tonight will be the key.

no.....not at all.....he may have genuinely thought his bat hat hit his pad or similar......also, being the best batsman, I'd rather he err on the side of caution and burn a review than a lower-order batsman.....

The umpires looked at it time and time again and couldn't see it but you can apparently.
Looked like a 4 to me but Stokes wouldn't have known.
A decent effort but sorry, not good enough.
Aussies whingeing about an umpires decision.

So how is Broad a cheat but not Smith?
Can you explain that hypocrisy?
