Bairstow actions also should be scrutinised when keeping to Wood bowling to Head. Rule 27.4 of Laws of the game. Unfair movement.

Let's have a look at what the elite MCC members have to say As it's not on the Western Terrace nothing will be done.

Extremely lucky to have been at Edgbaston to see one of the all-time captain’s knocks and one of the all-time Australian Ashes wins @BudgySmuggler

A brilliant first week of finals sees all four sides move on to next week. Some massive individual performances from the boys. #ProudlyStKilda

🗣 "What those two extraordinary leaders of men (Stokes & McCullum), aided by Rob Key, have done, is redefine once again what the game of cricket is actually about." Sir Andrew Strauss on 'Bazball' and the rise of English cricket. #LoveLords | #CowdreyLecture

#DanAndrews if the MCG is free on GF day,why can't we turn it into a massive vaccination centre for walk ups. Get 100,000-plus people jabbed. The People's ground comes to life. Finally to the Govt, pay our nurses triple time pay for their time on these days.

#HomeFront Loving hearing all this great music. Thoughts are with the ANZACs, the frontline workers, and Vic police.
Masterful! 🔥 #AUSvPAK

Hilarious.
Me walking in with the bowler when they're 5/20.
Not one there, says the non-striker. Smart.
Imagine playing a second XI game and seeing Jofra roll up 😫 📹 @CountyChamp
Rhino, an amazing bowler. He just willed himself. One of my top 2 Aussie fast bowlers in the last 30 years.
Five years since this unbelievable Test came to its dramatic finale. ⁦@r_harris413⁩ retold it brilliantly a little while ago... cricket.com.au/news/feature/…

6 runs needed off 1 ball and the team scored it with 1 ball to spare 😂

"We are wanting him to focus on white-ball cricket with the World Cup coming up," Hohns says. So every other player can switch formats but not Maxwell? So few batsmen in Australia have 40+ first-class averages right now. Maxwell is one of them. Has a Test ton too, and can bowl.
Replying to @collinsadam
Emphatic denial from Hohns that Maxwell's personality has anything to do with all this. There was a lot of chat about his white-ball future in the response. Sounds like he's cooked as far as Test cricket is concerned.

This is a DISGRACE. Well said by this two. – at Melbourne, Victoria
A shocking video posted by farmers shows the water lined with dead Murray cod said to have been 80 to 100 years old. Read the full story here: bit.ly/2QuoOOY

My theory on the current state of Australian cricket. @cricketcomau Dear selectors: Always pick your best side. No resting. No rotating. No experimenting. Just pick your best 11. Whether it’s T-20, 50-overs or tests. Get rid of sports scientists. No player died from hard work

Was watching the cricket, went outside, got a coffee, came home, showered, put the kettle on, watched Titanic, got lunch, read war and piece, left home, went travelling, did a gap year, turned the cricket back on... and Pujara was still batting
