You obviously don't follow him on Twitter. I swear he posted about ten times an hour in the aftermath of the Jonny Bairstow incident in the second Test.

Surely he only has to apologise once. You didn't make him grovel did you ?

In a remarkable turnaround from my normal hyper-partisanship where cricket and convicts are concerned, I thought the Aussies had a point about that particular incident, so kept my mouth shut.

I thought the done thing was to give the batsman a warning and if he did it again he was fair game ? That's just good etiquette. I'd hate to think they play golf. Probably the sort of chaps who'd wear flip-flops in the clubhouse.

You are confusing it with Mankading.  An opposition bowler tried to Mankad one of my sons in a recent cup game.  Not only wasn't he very sporting, he also wasn't very bright and did so after completing his bowling action, when the batsman is allowed to be out of his ground.  Two balls later Gregor deposited him into the field behind midwicket.  As satisfying a sporting moment as I have witnessed this season.....

Loved the fact Bairstow called Smith 'Goodbye Smudge' - Smudge is Yorkshire slang for anyone called Smith


The spirit of the game is no longer - the Aussies were within the rules however it doesn't smell right to me - its almost like your opponent not reminding you to put back the marker in the right place on the green when had been moved out of the way and claiming the hole.


Mark Wood is a much needed game changer and its a pity he is not in tandem with Jofra.


I wonder how the MCC got on against Melbourne Cricket Club in the Ashes Golf Match? A mate played for the MCC years back and said they very rarely win in London and decided to take the match onto a links course - Sandwich which they duly won.

Not off-topic, nor in bad taste, in the slightest.

Zero wrong with it. As opening batsman, I was dismissed in exactly the same way in the Leinster Cup Final 23 years ago. Very embarrassing but never even crossed my mind that it was unsporting.

But then he was also an Austrailian.


And I taught you how to play 12th at The Addington - the maddest of mad holes in the world.

And you raked after my bunker shot on 11!  Great to meet you Mike.
Outstanding work taking place there.
