I too was having a bit of a laugh about the poms reaction to Bairstowes stumping. But I stopped laughing when I heard that the partners and wives of players also had abuse hurled at them.

[@kmac4671]

Ok, an Aussie team cheated (sandpapergate) and given harsh penalties. Deserved. Atherton (English captain) caught with a pocket full of dirt that he rubbed the ball in to dry it out (cheating), then lied to the match referee when confronted. Got a smack on the wrist, a fine, but kept his captaincy. English cricketers, fans and commentators have convenient amnesia when it suits them. Nothing like bad losers, except hypocrites having a hissy fit.

[@XaviRonaldo0]

Can't call over until the ball is dead. Ball clearly wasn't dead. It's common for the umpires to be walking towards their spots for the change of ends after an over before calling over. What the umpires were doing is totally irrelevant. All that matters is if they actually called over. What if it was in the middle of the over? I guarantee they wouldn't have declared it a dead ball.

[@hillstony]

I told all the cricketers I coached over the years that its the fielding sides job to bring the umpires into the game to make a decision and its the batting sides job to keep tbe umpires out of the game (ie not to be called on to make a decision) the only person responsible for the final decision is the umpire, the umpires will make that decision BASED ON THE LAWS OF THE GAME. If the batter has done something that brings the umpire into the game then the BATTER HAS FAILED AT THEIR JOB.
