England Star's Witty Take On "Leaving The Crease" After Jonny Bairstow Incident in Second Ashes Test

The second Ashes Test between England and Australia will be remembered for the controversial dismissal of Jonny Bairstow by wicketkeeper Alex Carey. The English player wandered out of the crease after ducking on Cameron Green's bouncer, thinking the ball was dead. Carey took advantage of the situation and made a direct hit onto the stumps. After losing the first two matches of the series, the Ben Stokes-led team will aim for redemption in the third Ashes Test and England star batter Joe Root is hopeful that the entire incident of the second match will motivate Bairstow to put up a great show in the next outing.

'Hasn't Looked Dangerous In The Series At All': Ricky Ponting On England Pacer In Ashes 2023

Former Australian captain Ricky Ponting believes that England's pacer Ollie Robinson did not look dangerous in the Ashes as he has only taken wickets of tailenders. The English bowler has taken three wickets in the ongoing second Test match of the Ashes series against Australia on Thursday at Lord's. He had also taken five wickets in the first Ashes Test. Ponting in ICC Review said, "I don't think he's looked dangerous in the series at all. I mean, if you look at the wickets, he's got the tailenders out in each game. Yes he got Marnus (Labuschagne) in this innings here. But then he got (Nathan) Lyon and then he got (Josh) Hazlewood. So if he didn't get the 10 and 11 out, then he finishes his innings with one wicket at over four runs an over."
