Very well said from Aus media. Bossing the game.

As always it's the Australians that are the real victims.

[Fox Cricket @FoxCricket]

Some of this reaction is... just wow 😳

[Paul Edwards @_pauledwards]

The victim mentality from Australia today is amazing but not surprising. Remember that Sandpaper Steve only cheated because loved the game so much. Expect a lot more of that over the next couple of days

[Paul Edwards @_pauledwards]

World Class levels of false equivalence from the cheats today

Brendon McCullum to TMS yesterday: "I can't imagine we'll be having a beer anytime soon."

Australia head coach Andrew McDonald has responded to his counterpart's post-match comments at Lord's.

@1sInto2s Australians don't understand the term "sportsmanship". You'll have to explain it to them. They prefer cheating

[Paul Edwards @_pauledwards]

This is a 💯 tweet

[Abijit Ganguly @AbijitG]

Be it Ashwin-Butler, be it Bairstow, be it colonialism, the core issue is Englishmen not respecting border lines.

[Paul Edwards @_pauledwards]

@Zumerzetboy @gmh38134 @GeoffNorcott @CricketAustrala will put an injunction on it. They won't want the truth of how inbred the cheating in the Australian system was (still is?)

Happy to destroy one young cricketers career to save the rest

[Paul Edwards @_pauledwards]

@BajwaKehtaHaii How dare you put Babar in the same league as Cummings.

Babar is a class act and a great of the game.

Cummings is a cheat.

[Paul Edwards @_pauledwards]

He literally dragged it along the ground. It's not that hard to understand.

It would be out in a kids game.

[Damien Ractliffe @DamienRactliffe]

Cricket’s worst new rule is that interpretation of the Starc catch.

You can’t tell me he didn’t have control of that ball. Try all you like, you won’t convince me otherwise.

#Ashes2023

[Paul Edwards @_pauledwards]

They'll cheat then as well

[Farid Khan @_FaridKhan]

Test cricket is the ultimate format. Counting days till we play Australia in Australia in December ❤️

#Ashes #Ashes23

[Paul Edwards @_pauledwards]

@_FaridKhan That's because Dhoni is and will always be a class act.

The Aussies will never understand this

[Paul Edwards @_pauledwards]

@gmh38134 @GeoffNorcott Such a cover-up by @CricketAustrala the idea that noone else in the team knew, especially the bowlers is hard to believe. They were doing it for years before they were caught.

The cheating over the last couple of days is just Australian cricket culture

[Paul Edwards @_pauledwards]

@EddieRobson I think they are comfortable with it. Cheating is part of Aussie sporting culture. The "good guy" years since they were caught in 2018 have been the anomaly. This is back to where they have always been.

[Paul Edwards @_pauledwards]

@FoxSportsLab Helps when you cheat though.

How many of those victories came in the period when Australian were ball tampering up to 2018?

[Paul Edwards @_pauledwards]

It's unsportsmanlike but that's just part of Australian sporting culture

[Fox Cricket @FoxCricket]

It's the dismissal that has divided the ENTIRE cricket world 😱🗣

Sharp play from Alex Carey, or unsportsmanlike conduct? 🤔

https://t.co/DOWwgE5ZZk

[Paul Edwards @_pauledwards]

@aljwhite @TheCricketerMag I get the feeling he's not the sharpest tool in the box

If he did know they were sandpapering the ball (how wouldn't you?) then he was part of throwing Bancroft's career under the bus.

[Paul Edwards @_pauledwards]

Cheat is clearly rattled

[The Cricketer @TheCricketerMag]

"I thought it was fair" — Pat Cummins on the Jonny Bairstow dismissal.

#Ashes

[Paul Edwards @_pauledwards]

I think he means the Laws of Cricket

[Anthony Sharwood ❄️ @antsharwood]

Starc's non-catch was the rules, this run-out is the rules. Learn the rules, fellas.

Side note: Carey clearly threw immediately and instinctively, long before his inner man had time to consider whether it was "against the spirit", whatever that means these days

[Paul Edwards @_pauledwards]

Just part of Australian cricketing culture.

Asking them to stop cheating is like asking a dog to stop sniffing other dogs' butts

[brownhillsdog @brownhillsdog]

I'd like to say that's a low point for Australian cricket but I'm not sure it even makes the top three.
