Watch: Marnus Labuschagne Teases Jonny Bairstow Over Controversial Stumping At Lord's

Jonny Bairstow's controversial dismissal hogged all the limelights in the second Ashes Test against Australia at Lord's last month. After ducking a bouncer from Cameron Green, Bairstow ventured out of the crease thinking that the ball was already 'dead'. However, Carey played within the rules and underarmed the ball onto the stumps and third umpire Marais Erasmus ruled the decision in favour of Australia. The incident led to immense criticism of the Australian team and sparked the "spirit of cricket" debate.

"Speed Alone Cannot Be Only Weapon...": Ex-India Star's Reminder For Umran Malik

Former India fast bowler RP Singh said pacer Umran Malik will have to improve his skills as a bowler as speed alone cannot be his weapon, adding that he is one of the bowlers in fray to play in the World Cup. “You have a good number of matches before the World Cup. He can get 5-6 games in the Asia Cup, and three more matches (against Australia). Umran has the advantage of pace. But the issue with him is the skill — his deliveries do not move much,” RP Singh said. “In international cricket, speed alone cannot be the only weapon. You have to make a game-plan as well, and that is something he is not learning as quickly as he should. He also concedes a lot of runs. But he seems to be in the loop for the World Cup because he has the pace." “But he should also get game-time. You cannot have someone playing one match and then sitting out for two. If you think Umran is a long-term option then he has to be polished accordingly,” said RP Singh during an interaction organised by Jio Cinema.
