"England Should Apologise To Australia!" Aussie Journalist SLAMS English Cricket

welcome back to Facebook and sensor I've taken a bold stand against the unsporting treachery at Lords on Sunday by the Australian cricket team the Australian present turn has taken an equally bold stand well against me take a look at this morning's Daily Telegraph in Sydney has dressed me Ben Stokes the Jeffrey boycott and Richie sunac as giant babies with the headline a wobbly lower lip Sookie Palms keeps spitting the dummy well I'm joined by Chief Cricket writer of the Australian Peter Layla well Peter uh great to have you on the show uh you were on your podcast yesterday saying I've been ignoring all messages from radio and television I'm only disappointed I didn't have enough time to go on Piers Morgan so I'd have loved to have gone on that it would have been very entertaining well now's your chance to see how entertaining is going to be Peter uh right let me start with with this I want to show you again what happened just to remind everybody this is what went down here we go so another short ball for those who don't play a lot of cricket what's happening Johnny bairstow doesn't even try and hit the ball he just Ducks the ball goes over his head he then scrapes his boot inside the crease you see him here from this angle so when he scrapes his boot he's denoting the fact it's the end of the over six balls have been bold They're Gonna Change ends scrapes his boot everyone in world cricket history knows that denotes but the batsman is marking his crease and then he goes up to walk to his captain and at that point I don't blame the Wicket keeper Mr Kerry for what he did he instinctively threw the ball fine the person I blame Peter is your captain Pat Cummings and here's why three years ago the Australian cricket team were in total Global disgrace over sandpaper gay I think you were pretty sensorious yourself about it and here we have a chance three years on the Australian team to show that they really have changed their spots and actually do believe in the spirit of the game sometimes overriding the basic laws what happened why didn't Cummings withdraw that appeal and bring Johnny bastard back you don't in your guts feel comfortable about what you saw dude a hundred percent comfortable anybody who plays qriket peers knows that the over is not over until the Umpire calls it over um let's there's a lot of people making a lot of noise about this and sounding like you but uh there's Michael Vaughn Michael Atherton NASA stain uh Andrew Strauss four people who have won a few things in common they capped in England and they agree with Australia's position on this it was out he was Dopey it was dozy it was stupid well hang on on all of those I agree with you he was out he was Dopey he was dozy and he was from a cricketing perspective stupid I don't disagree with any of that I think what my wider point though is that given everything that the Aussies have been through with the cricket team in the last few years in terms of the spirit of the game yeah right and downright cheating frankly with a sandpaper gay I don't accuse the team of cheating this time I didn't like the scenes in the laws Pavilion it's not cheating but I would I would equate it to what happened with Trevor Chapel in think it was 91 wasn't it when he when he was captained by his brother Greg and they were playing a one-day International against New Zealand and Trevor Chapel was directed by his brother to bowl the last ball of the match where New Zealand wanted six to win to bowl it underarm and he bowled under her and he created such a fury that even the older Chapel brother Ian Chapel condemned it on the commentary box Richie Banner called it one of the worst things he'd ever seen both Prime Ministers of both countries condemned it uh in fact Muldoon the New Zealand prime minister said that he thought it was appropriate Australia were wearing yellow shirts and so on and they changed the law as a result isn't this the same well you've got something which is typically within the rules it's in the laws of the game but everybody felt uncomfortable and you cite all the captains of England who defend it fine the public to a man and woman I've spoken to all think this was wrong Trevor Chapel's Act was an extraordinary act and I think we all condemn it this is sorry just on that point Johnny Johnny on that one point Murphy's tweeted me tweeted today that he thinks it was completely Justified what Trevor Chapel did so not everyone thinks it was wrong you're all right that's moved that's our move yes there's a joker in every pack um Johnny bestow attempts the same dismissals in the same very same test match no he attempted it in the previous team the same thing the batsman was out of their crease he attempted to throw down the batsman is taking guard outside the crease and therefore he plays and misses the Wicket keeper has a legitimate chance to stump him if he took guard outside the crease bear so clearly here scrapes his boot inside the crease he clearly scrapes his boot everybody knows what he's doing there he is saying I'm marking the end of the over and the both umpires have moved to move away right come on this is not the spirit of cricket and you're a very experience writer and I just don't believe you if it was the other way around I don't think you'd be saying the same thing happens every weekend in club Cricket in Australia I don't know what you do here it's not up to Johnny Bear so to decide where or when it and over ends it's up to Johnny basto to respect the laws of cricket which were written by the English and to stay in his crease until it's safe to get out of that crease if he wants to get out of that crease while the ball is live He's fair game I'm sorry I think your country's kind of lost its mind over this and I reckon it's a bit of a smoke screen to be honest you two nil down in the ashes you've all been sort of doing handstands about this this great new brand of cricket you could play baseball and good on you it's fantastic it's exciting Cricket but it's face planted in the acids you two nil down and you're carrying on about a flies back on a Pulpit well we should have won an edge but I don't understand what's going on we should have won an ashbastian and if Ben Stokes catches lion when he's on two it's all over and secondly in this last test match if you hadn't basically divvied out or Alberto we'd have won that match too so we probably would have been tuned a lot you know um you talk about the spirit of Cricket the spirit of cricket talks about accepting the authority of the umpires of creating a positive atmosphere in the way you play I mean I find I I think that English cricketers owes Australia an apology is Mother's yes but you just said yourself that absolute hooliganism of laws well that I agree with absolutely okay no no from your members and from the public and it's being and it's been experiment by your team attempting to cover up let me respond the fact that it lost it's two nil down let me respond I agree that the behavior of the members chanting cheat cheat was wrong they shouldn't have done it and that is ungracious but the idea you as an Australian are going to lecture us on the way crowds treat the opponents I was at the ashes in 2013-14 where obeying mob with literally bang for blood and in fact they were being at one stage from my blood against Brett Lee so I won't say any elections from you law on how crowds behave our crowds behave poorly too but we're not claiming to set the standards and I'll tell you what our crowds haven't been jostling jostling players did you know Steven Smith I want to thank you for coming on because very few others would come on I appreciate it the ashes is now incendiary headingley will be an avatar a new lot are going down 3-2 thank you for coming on Peter Layla not a chance start shopping
