Bazball era England managing atleast one or two of these ridiculous moral policing moments virtually every series they play is hilarious. I'm sorry, but it makes them astonishingly easy to dislike. I mean, they're English already so it's an uphill climb but jeez. This bunch shows a level of holier than thou douchebaggery that's amazing.

Simple response to Duckett et. al - "If you wanted to stop me getting a hundred, you should have bowled like it earlier and learnt how to catch".

Jonathan Trott is saying that the practice in England is to take the draw if it is offered. "Difference in culture" etc.

New strategy against Bazball unlocked: offer the draw ASAP.

There seems to be a lot of animosity between these sides now. I think the carry-on over the 'offering of the draw' is a direct result of the Indian comments about Englands time wasting in the last test, which seems to haver really got under Englands skin. To neutral observers all this sniping and carry-on probably looks a bit petulant and pathetic. It's not blow ups arising from the white hot heat of battle, it's low energy bitching born out of irritation and arrogance.

This thread would make sense if the match didn’t end in a draw

The English treat banter and cricket in the same manner - they love it if they are on top, but the toys come out of the pram pretty quickly if they are not.

Bit low effort but still works

Hahaha this is just completely fabricated, surely. I can remember at least one occasion in the past (Edgbaston 2009) where everyone knew the game was going to be drawn but they played it out until the batsman got a hundred, and no one really cared or complained. This just seems to be Stokes imposing his personal whims and declaring them timeless convention. Again.
