"Very disappointing attitude considering all the "boys" do to support the women's game".
Meh.

Maybe he thought a bit more about it and decided to delete it himself?

Not sure why as both tweets are fair game IMO.

It was a needless and spikey reply to a daft jokey comment imo. Maybe he agreed and thought better of it? We all see things in our own way tho so who knows?

Nothing to see here. Everyone who wanted to watch the womens game would have watched it anyway, and those who didn't wouldn't regardless of the mens game. Infact, I was probably less likely to watch anymore cricket after that debacle annoyed the life out of me yesterday.
Seems a bit of a trolling attempt by Hartley imo and very needless when they're trying to build up this "one team" unity type approach. Think Burns' reply was very just tbh

It's hardly hideous but you shouldn't make a joke of your fellow cricketers misfortunes.

If it was some random member of the public on Twitter I’d agree, but this is someone with obvious links to the England cricket setup, taking the piss about a defeat.
Again, imagine the shoe on the other foot:
England women hammered in a game.
Ben Stokes tweets a joke about the defeat.
Absolute outrage ensues. Stokes called a misogynist, bad role model, calls for a ban, public apology, etc.
I used the word hideous because it’s someone involved with the England cricket setup, joking about the England cricket setup.
Imagine what would happen if Root/Stokes/Butler did that?
What has happened to Burns? Deleted on his own judgement or asked to delete it? And if it was his own judgement was it because of fear of retribution for bringing the game into disrepute? Or setting a bad example?
Glad you atleast agree it shouldn’t have been joked about.

Hideous is pushing it somewhat. It’s a poor tweet but it’s clearly intended as “banter”. It’s just shit banter
