Three Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) members were suspended after the Australian team experienced «aggressive and abusive» behaviour in the Long Room as they made their way to lunch on the fifth and final day of the second Ashes Test on Sunday, the MCC announced on Sunday evening.
After a controversial morning session at Lord’s, which included Jonny Bairstow’s dismissal by Aussie wicketkeeper Alex Carey’s underarm throw to hit his stumps, the usually decorous bunch at the ‘spiritual home of cricket’ chanted: «Same old Aussies, always cheating» as they booed the tourists off the field.

The MCC statement said the three suspended members were identified and would not be allowed to return to the ground while investigations into the matter were ongoing.
