Stop crying 😂😂😂
No one can beat Australia in cheating. They simply what to take away credit from England with a silly Ball-Change excuse
England didn’t change the ball – the umpires did- need to stop moaning and recognise that on the day the better side won. Great series overall however between two very evenly
Australia spent the series looking for ball changes.
isn't it amazing how all the aussies from players to management and media were ok with bairstow being given out when they knew they looking down the barrel, but when things don't go their way different story, grow up, whinging aussies.
The crying and whinging from this lot is off the hook
Putty, Broad was involved with ball tampering in his last game tho.
Headlines today about Zac Crawley was happy when new ball changed. Disgraceful
Stop whinging!
😭 dry them.
They cheated, conspires with officials to change the games outcome. Chuck that urn in the toilet, and let it float away with all the other exscriment.
When is this bloke going to stop whingeing
Excuses!!!!
if the umpire said that there was nothing else in the box , then there is an issue. I think the umpires should explain.
I'm sure one of the Aussies would have had a bit of sand paper down their strides that could have been used to rough the ball up a bit?
At least they didn’t use sand paper 😂😂
England wins 3-2 ….. seriously . Old Trafford was clearly England's. Crystal
Loss Australia become frustration of taken new ball
That ball change handed the game to England. Great work umpires. 40 over ball changed for a 10 over old ball, huge difference.
👍👍👍🏏
Now this called ball tampering ?come on Broad is retried all form of cricket.
I was stunned to hear that the groundsman had used a different lawnmower the night before the final day.
😮
The difference was that it was the umpires who changed the ball but it was the Australian wicketkeeper and captain who destroyed any respect the England players and supporters had for the Australian team when they morallycheated to dismiss Bairstow.
Winge winge winge
Classy bloke!
Seems this did go against Australia but if roles were reversed Aussies would just be calling anyone who mentioned it a whinging pomme so it's hard to be that sympsthetic.
I was astonished 😲
Why umpire changed the ball when it was okay.. commentators were also said this
WARRA SERIES VICTORY IN ENGLAND SINCE 2001 FOR STRAYA
I've played cricket is AUS since i was an early teenager.. and every grade i played in always had boxes and boxes of ball replacements. However, when England cricket is asked to submit their boxes and boxes, all they could supply was a small sample of pristine balls?? i call BS!! Some old c**t in ECB held back on the boxes of older (more appropriate) replacement balls!! So should there be an inquiry ?? No! but maybe a better oversight procedure in ball replacement? honestly, its all over now.. Seriously i think 2-2 is probably a good outcome.. Both teams were pretty evenly matched.. I think England did better that expected!..by Aussies anyway! I hate when incidents like this sully the perfect gentlemen game we all envisage!?
Difference in ball was evident so this winning by hook or crook at the best
The way the ball reacts in England changes day by day, it was probably very little to do with the ball change anyway. That ball didnt do much the day before. Just looking for excuses
Mine is 1000th comment
Australians are the world champions at whinging. LOSERS. If not for the cheating at Lord’s and the rain at OT, it would have been 4-1. So they should STFU and FO.
Yeah, blame the ball….
Not won a series in England since 2001 😂
Aussie moaning again
Old trick of theirs – England vs SA 2017 2nd test comes to mind
Aussies are such classy whingers. Poms whinge like toddlers.
Aussies are sore losers
I Thought That Ball Was Actually Player Of The Match !
Say What You Like The Umpires Changed The Ball And It Changed The Outcome Of The Match.
First Ball No Wickets
Ball Changed All Wickets
Imagine If Australia Had Done This And Won The Ashes Because Of A Ball Change . Yeah I chuckled thinking about that scenario
All said and done watched every test was a great series congratulations to everyone great cricket all round
LONG LIVE TEST CRICKET
Good grief, I thought the poms were supposed to be the whingers!!😂
That was one of the new balls they had been keeping in the fridge Same old England, always cheating!
Sore losser, it's not the ball it's cricket deal with it
At the end of the day. England should have been the better side considering they played at home and were being so hyped up, yet they were only just able to get a draw with a lot going their way. The way the English crowd acted throughout this series was pretty pathetic and doesn’t even surprise me, the team, fans and media were all pretty consistently entitled and/or whinging the whole time. Can’t wait for the next series in Australia, then everyone will see how a home side is supposed to be dominant
….Its called TEST Cricket
That ball was completely different though, how is it possible with a large selection of balls.
