1.Eoin Morgan won't tell fans how to react
David Warner and Steve Smith have received a hostile reception in England ever since their return from the ball-tampering scandal. However, Morgan on Monday said that the crowd can do whatever they want.
"I'm not expecting anything. I think fans and supporters up and down the country will have different reactions, as they will around the world. So we'll see," Morgan told reporters on Monday. "Supporters pay a lot of money, they do. And sport is beautiful in many ways, because it attracts people from far and wide. And you often see crowds offering support to both sets of players in the grounds."
Morgan added: "You don't know how sports fans will react. Just because two guys have been punished, served their punishment and returned to play, it doesn't mean they will be accepted back into the cricket community straight away. It will take time."
2.Jonny Bairstow calls out Australia's double standards
England batsman Jonny Bairstow accused Australia of double standards in asking fans to go easy on Warner and Smith because former coach Darren Lehmann had previously urged supporters to verbally abuse England quick Stuart Broad during an Ashes series 'Down Under'.
"I've read that Justin Langer, the Australia coach, and Virat Kohli have asked supporters not to boo Steve Smith and Warner. I'm not sure that makes any difference," England opening batsman Bairstow wrote in a column for The Telegraph.
"The fans will react however they want, particularly in the Ashes (which begins on Aug. 1 in Edgbsaton). It is a bit pointless pleading with them not to boo Smith or Warner."
3.'Strange' for Australians asking fans not to boo: Bairstow
Jonny Bairstow, who struck up an unlikely partnership with Warner in the Indian Premier League, said his fellow opener in the Sunrisers Hyderabad franchise was an "amazing cricketer" but that it was hypocritical to suggest he cannot be booed.
"There is a fine line as well. There was a time not that long ago when the then Australia coach, Darren Lehmann, was telling the Australia crowd to send Stuart Broad home crying," Bairstow said ahead of England's crunch World Cup match against Australia on Tuesday.
"I'm sure it was not meant maliciously but for Australians then to say 'do not boo these guys' is interesting. It has to work both ways, it can't just all be one way. I'm not saying it is right or wrong. But to have the mentality (that) 'we can do it to you, but you cannot do it to us' is a bit strange."
4.Archer puts friendship with Smith 'on hold'
England pacer Jofra Archer, who played with Australia's Steve Smith in the Indian Premier League (IPL), revealed that until the game is over, there will be nothing friendly in the match.
"Cricket is cricket and I guess there's time to be friends after. But until the game is over, there will be nothing friendly about it," Cricket.com.au quoted Archer as saying.
However, when Archer was asked if he would consider Smith as a friend after their season together, he said: "Yes. I'd like to consider he thinks of me the same way as well. He's a really good guy."
5.Virat Kohli's made a gesture for Steve Smith
Virat Kohli asked Indian fans to stop jeering the former Australian skipper during their World Cup encounter on June 9. The Indian fans booed Smith and chanted "cheater, cheater" when the defending champions were fielding. Kohli, who was batting at the time, urged them to calm down and instead cheer his batting. Steve Smith has appreciated Virat Kohli's "lovely gesture" and thanked him for it.
