MCC Apologises to Australian Cricket Team After Abuse and Physical Jostling of Players in the Lord's Long Room During Ashes 2nd Test, Team Management Requests Investigation
The dramatic scenes took place in the Long Room of the membersâ pavilion as chants of âcheats, cheats, cheatsâ rang through the room when the Australia crickets were passing by.
As the Australian cricketers were on their way to the dressing room during the Lunch Break of the Ashes 2nd Test Day 5, just after Jonny Bairstow's controversial run out, they were hurled abuses and jostled physically by the members of the MCC around in the Lord's Long Room. Security was spotted removing some Aussie cricketers like Usman Khawaja and David Warner from engaging. MCC has later apologised to the Australian cricket team for the behaviour of the members. âAustralian management has requested the Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) investigate several incidents involving spectators in the membersâ area during lunch on day five of the Lordâs Test,â a Cricket Australia spokesperson said.
