"Were Calling Head A ****": Usman Khawaja On Why He Wouldn't Want His Kids To be Around Ashes

The ongoing Ashes has been closely fought so far. After Australia won the first two tests, England won the third Test. The fourth Test of the five-match series starts in Manchester on Wednesday. Before the match, Australia batter Usman Khawaja opened up on the rough treatment that they have been getting from the English crowd. Since England star batter Jonny Bairstow was controversially stumped by Alex Carey off Cameron Green's bowling, first the Australian players were confronted in the Lord's long room, then in the third test too, the visitors were booed at Leeds. The aggressive behaviour has been criticised by Usman Khawaja.

The dismissal of Jonny Bairstow during the second Ashes Test between England and Australia at Lord's resulted in a massive controversy. Bairstow ducked a delivery from Cameron Green and although he thought it was okay to walk out of his crease, wicket-keeper Alex Carey quickly completed a direct hit and the umpires declared the batter out. While the Australians maintained that they were well within the rules of the game to appeal, English supporters were not pleased. They booed the Australian cricketers on the field and at lunch, Usman Khawaja got into a verbal spat with a few Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) members who were present at the legendary Long Room of Lord's.

The ongoing Ashes Test series has been filled with controversies but the most hilarious one involved Australia wicket-keeper Alex Carey and a haircut. During the third Test at Headingley, former England skipper Alastair Cook claimed that Carey went for a haircut in London but did not pay the barber for his services. The story was even carried by the English tabloid The Sun resulting in a strong response from the Australian cricket team. Teammate Steve Smith was left fuming by the reports and he went on record to slam the publication for their reporting on the issue.

The ongoing Ashes series between England and Australia will be remembered for the cut-throat competition and intense game of cricket. Apart from all this, one thing which will definitely be considered among the biggest highlights of the series is the controversial dismissal of Jonny Bairstow by Australia wicketkeeper Alex Carey during the second Ashes Test at Lord's. The incident took place on Day 4 of the second Test when Bairstow wandered out of the crease after ducking a Cameron Green's bouncer, thinking the ball was dead. Carey took advantage of the situation and made a direct hit onto the stumps.

Since the Jonny Bairstow incident in the second Ashes Test, where the England batter was cheekily stumped by Australian wicketkeeper Alex Carey at Lord's, there has been a lot of discussion on the 'rules of the game' vs 'spirit if cricket' debate. A similar situation almost arose on the third day of the first Test between India and West Indies in Dominica on Friday. Test debutant wicketkeeper Ishan Kishan attempted cheeky stumpings of Jason Holder off Ravindra Jadeja's bowling. However, the Bairstow-like dismissals were avoided.

The Lord's Long Room altercation will go down as one of the most disappointing incidents in the history of cricket. The story which began with the controversial dismissal of England's Jonny Bairstow by Australia wicketkeeper Alex Carey during the second Ashes Test, had even bitter ending after the Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) members, who were present in the long room, hurled abuses towards the Australian players while they were heading to the dressing room for Lunch. Things got more ugly when Australia opener Usman Khawaja claimed that he was racially abused by the members of MCC.
