This from the BBC.

”There are members in the Long Room so enraged that they've reverted from a Windsor knot into a much more aggressive half Windsor.” 😂😂😂

Before the game started I was looking forward to a good game of cricket but never imagined it would be this good!

By the laws of the game he is out. Brings a different meaning though to "it's just not cricket".

I think England will win this.

What a bellend. 

They are clowns and they get what they deserved. Cummins should have withdraw the appeal but didn't. classless

Dozy from Bairstow and no different to a stumping in my book. He set off walking before the ball even reached Carey’s hands! May even have benefitted us in the long run, Stokes looks up for it!

Can’t complain at the rules being followed after the shocking umpiring around the Starc catch yesterday. You either follow the rules to the letter or not at all, you can’t pick and choose.

[Tyrone Shoelaces]

It happened to me once. The opposing captain, was fielding in the slips, said to the wicket keeper - “ Don’t be a dick, go and put the bails back on !”

The rules were followed for the Starc catch (and as you say for this incident too)

This doesn’t stop the Aussies being arseholes (both last night and this morning)

I think we can all credit Dreams for this - he has a track record of seeing amazing days of test cricket

I suspect a certain I T Botham might have been in his element too

Stokes should never gone for the bouncer that Smith failed to catch. This where Bazball goes wrong. He doesn't need to attack every short ball

 

[simongarnerisgod]

if we had a half decent top order we`de be well in this series,crawley,pope and brook hav`nt the technique or patience for test match cricket

Nonsense. Starc grassed the ball. I saw it in slowmo again today and the ball on the grass took the impact as he fell. He was not in full control of his body.

In a perverse sort of way I'm glad to get the chance to see Smith drop an easy one and get full monty from the crowd at Lords. Great TV.

MCC have apologized to Aussie Cricket Team and will deal with any member who has not maintained the standard.

Better ban them all then, it wasn’t an isolated incident, cheating bastards.

This followed the Aussies crying to the MCC that nobody clapped them.  Wimps as well as cheats.

MCC had to issue the apology to keep up appearances.

It's rumoured that the unruly members are on free champagne for the rest of the day as punishment.

Northants 74/3 after 10 overs.
