Pat Cummins is wide-eyed. Alex Carey offers a grin. Marnus Labuschagne is laughing incredulously. Usman Khawaja splutters, “We’re at Lord’s.” David Warner just shakes his head., which captures last year’s epic Ashes fight.As much as the series was one of the greatest ever played, members of the touring Australian side were left with a sour impression of the way the crowds at Lord’s and elsewhere turned on them, combined with what Khawaja called the “self-righteous” attitude of the England team.
Labuschagne is chuckling as he relays what he saw in the Long Room of the Members Pavilion, and then an exchange between Bairstow and Warner in the two teams’ shared lunch room.“I don’t think I’ve ever seen a group of grown, old men ... This bloke was foaming at the mouth,” Labuschagne says. “A bloke kicked ‘Bull’ when he went up the stairs.
“There wasn’t anything cheeky about it, it was literally got the ball, roll it back,” he says, before being asked if any choice words were exchanged on the field. Australian opener Usman Khawaja walks past members inside Lord’s famous Long Room following a heated confrontation on day five of the second Ashes Test. MCC members hurled abuse at Australia’s players — for which three members have now been suspended — as they went into the rooms ahead of the lunch break following the controversial dismissal of Jonny Bairstow.
