Agreed, no class there. But then he is a bit of a **** by all accounts.I have just seen Ollie Robinson's response to Khawaja's dismissal. He should cop a fine for that.

Wasn't that bad? Overly aggressive wicket taking ? Wot, like the aussies never do it?
Great to see a solid fight at Edgbaston.
Swore at Khawaja, told him to '**** off' and called him a '******* ****.'
You don't do that to a man who has batted a full day and reached >140 runs in the process.

The Australian male being of course the benchmark of appropriate behaviour, against which all others are measured.
I agree, you need to do proper sledging in the Ashes, not just name calling. That's just too easy.
He should have a watch of previous Aussie sledging against the English, some glorious stuff there
Don't think that was that much at khawaja looking at that. Just expressing relief . Either way got a good 2.5 days to go. Hopefully these 2 will get dug in now and we pile on slowly. Looks a bit more steady so far than on Friday anyway.
Would be different if he was looking at him and saying it to his face. Just a not very classy way of expressing relief at finally getting the ****er out.
Just as I've spent the last two hours shedding blood, sweat and some tears fighting the hedge, I sit down to watch the cricket and it rains

No doubt about that, but there's been much much worse in the past on both sides.Would be different if he was looking at him and saying it to his face. Just a not very classy way of expressing relief at finally getting the ****er out.

Looking at the forecast we could easily lose a day and a half here.
Interesting commentary, because of how England played and the declaration, the Aussie bowlers only had 78 overs Vs 116 in the first innings.
Keep that up and over the next 6 weeks they're going to be much fresher than ours.
Not sure who we'll bring in for Ali, I'm not sure he'll even make it through this first test in one piece

Australia are gonna win. They’ve struck gold with the bowling conditions.
