England’s Barmy Army cry over Joe Root’s dismissal in Ranchi against India

England’s Barmy Army cried over the dismissal of Joe Root during the 2nd innings of the 4th Test in Ranchi. The match between India and England witnessed a lot of umpire calls which have been a center of discussion. As Root got dismissed in a rather clean way as per the technology, the admin of England’s Barmy Army could not hold back his opinion.

England’s Barmy Army’s handle posted an image of the dismissal of Joe Root. The admin posted a shocking emoji along with the dismissal. It was a very good ball from Kuldeep Yadav who got the ball to hit right inside the line and the impact of the ball was right in line. Even the wickets were hitting upon checking the dismissal by the third umpires.

Instead of accepting the dismissal, the fans of England started crying about it, when in actuality, it was the Indian fans who were disappointed the most with the umpire’s calls which were an unfortunate barrier for them in the first innings. In fact, Root himself survived a close call in the first innings and went on to score an unbeaten hundred. But back then, the fans of England did not seem to have any problems.

Not the first instance from England’s Barmy Army

The fans took to the comment section of the post of England’s Barmy Army and questioned their hypocrisy. The Indian fans pointed out that Root survived a close call, and four decisions of umpires’ call were in England’s favour in the Test. It is not new that the handle of England’s Barmy Army has commented foul or cried over such incidents, especially against India.

When Virat Kohli was dismissed for a duck in the ODI World Cup 2023, England trolled him, only to get a reply from the Indian fans who brutally trolled them back. During the Ashes 2023, England’s Barmy Army had a go at the Australians for the dismissal of Jonny Bairstow in the 2nd innings of the Lord’s Test and invoked the ‘Spirit of cricket’ argument to cover the dismissal.
