New footage shows the intense abuse Aussie stars copped at Lord’s over Bairstow dismissal

More footage has emerged of the torrent of abuse the Australian Test cricket team copped at Lord’s with the behaviour of the members called out by cricket fans.

Earlier, footage showed members booing and chanting ‘cheat, cheat, cheat’ at the Aussies, even prompting Usman Khawaja to stop and fire back at one of the members during The Ashes clash.

Since then three of those members have been identified and suspended from the exclusive club. 

Their fury stemmed from the dismissal of Jonny Bairstow who was controversially stumped on the last ball of an over for just 10 runs, which English media, fans and players believe was against the ‘spirit of the game’. 

Now more footage has highlighted how incensed the die-hard English supporters were as the Aussies returned to their rooms.

One particularly angry English supporter was pointing to each individual member of the Aussie team and yelling ‘cheat’ at them.

Another member bellowed at the Aussies ‘get the sandpaper’ in reference to the infamous Cape Town ball tampering scandal of 2019 that saw David Warner and Steve Smith suspended for a year by Cricket Australia.

More inaudible insults continue to ring out as the chanting gets louder and more intense, the Aussies moving up the stairs to their change rooms at a rapid pace.

While the members were remonstrating against Aussie wicketkeeper Alex Carey’s actions and skipper Pat Cummins for not revoking the appeal, many fans believed the abuse was far worse than the tourists’ tactics. 

‘It’s just not cricket and certainly not in the spirit of the game. Shame MCC shame,’ one posted.

‘The members of the long room should be ashamed of themselves! The veneer of respectability comes off very easily,’ posted another.

‘Cricket has an elitism problem and these members are living proof, embarrassing,’ added another.

Broad has reveled in his role as chief antagonist of Australian cricket fans and continues to play the pantomime villain to this day

The incident involving Bairstow also brought back memories of the 2013 Ashes series when Stuart Broad refused to walk despite obviously being out.

Broad took a huge nick off an Ashton Agar delivery that was safely caught by former skipper Michael Clarke in the slips.

However, it was given not out by umpire Aleem Dar and the Aussies had no reviews left to challenge.

Broad has maintained to this day that he had no obligation to walk and said after that match: ‘Those things aren’t remembered. It’s winning the series that will be remembered. We do have a win-at-all-costs mentality.’

England skipper Ben Stokes slammed Australia for having the same mentality after England’s loss.

‘If I was fielding captain I would have had a real think about the spirit of the game,’ he said.

‘For Australia it was the match-winning moment. Would I want to win a game in that manner? The answer for me is no.’

The apparent hypocrisy was not lost on Aussie cricket fans.

‘Except they are remembered. Broad not walking has been brought up numerous times today,’ one fan posted.

‘Important to note that Broad continues to defend his decision to not walk to this day, so it’s not even like something that’s happened in the past and he’s now ‘evolved’. The hypocrisy is staggering,’ tweeted another.

Other Aussies also pointed out that England has admitted to blatantly cheating in previous Ashes series by changing the condition of the ball using mints.

Marcus Trescothick admitted in his autobiography Coming Back to Me that he used mints to shine the ball to produce more swing, while spinner Monty Panesar has also admitted the team was guilty of ball tampering.

‘Bottom line is that the team who went as far as ball tampering in an Ashes series are trying to take the moral high ground, yet there are countless documented examples that proves them guilty of what they preach. Again,’ an Aussie cricket fan posted. 

Australia leads the five-Test series 2-0, with the third clash to be played at Headingley from July 6.
