"Brought Shame...": MCC Chairman Slams Members Who Abused Australians

Marylebone Cricket Club members who verbally abused Australian players during the second Ashes Test at Lord's have brought "shame" on the institution, according to the chairman. The normally sedate London ground erupted in fury following the controversial dismissal of England's Jonny Bairstow on the last day of the match last week. Spectators were incensed by the incident, in which Australia wicketkeeper Alex Carey threw the ball at the stumps after Bairstow walked out of his crease having ducked under a Cameron Green bouncer.

Australia and England got down to action yet again in the third Ashes Test after a controversial dismissal of Jonny Bairstow, in the second Ashes Test, looked to sour the contest. Bairstow's stumping by Alex Carey off Cameron Green's bowling was widely covered and divided opinions. While many people opined that it was within the laws of the game, many former players thought that the spirit of cricket was not upheld. The repercussions of that incident was felt in the third Test too as the Leeds crowd vociferously trolled and booed almost every other Australian batter's departure.

With the third Ashes Test scheduled to be played between July 6-10, the dust seemed to have settled over England batter Jonny Bairstow's controversial dismissal in the second Test at Lord's which Australia won by 43 runs to 2-0 in the five-game series. On the eve of the 3rd Test at Headingley, England captain Ben Stokes insisted it was time "everyone moved on" from the incident, which reinvigorated the 'Spirit of Cricket' debate. Former England Nasser Hussain has revealed that Australia great Ricky Ponting told him off-air that the visiting skipper, Pat Cummins, "might have to re-think his appeal".

The 'Spirit of Cricket' debate took the center stage after Australia wicketkeeper-batter Alex Carey controversially stumped Jonny Bairstow on Day 5 of the 2nd Ashes Test at Lord's last week. Bairstow ducked a Cameron Green bouncer and left his crease to have a chat with England captain Ben Stokes, who was standing on the non-striker's end. However, Carey threw the ball into the stumps, leaving everyone, including Bairstow, in disbelief. The decision was referred to the third umpire and the decision went against Bairstow and England.

Australia did the hard yards in the final session to reduce England to 68/3 on Day 1 of the ongoing third Ashes Test in Headingley. This came after Australia, invited to bat, rode on Mitchell Marsh's 118 to post a modest total of 263. England seemed to be in control with Zak Crawley off to a good start, Australia captain Pat Cummins had other ideas as he struck twice in the final session to dismiss Ben Duckett and Harry Brook, who was promoted up the order in the absence of the injured Ollie Pope.

Australia's Ton-Up Mitchell Marsh Has Return To Remember In 3rd Ashes Test

Mitchell Marsh's run-a-ball 118 was the cornerstone of Australia's 263 all out on the first day of the third Ashes Test at Headingley on Thursday after the tourists collapsed either side of his blistering century. England fast bowler Mark Wood took 5-34 as the hosts backed up captain Ben Stokes' decision to send Australia into bat on a green-tinged pitch after winning the toss. Australia skipper Pat Cummins then reduced England to 22-2 before all-rounder Marsh, playing his first Test in nearly four years, had Zak Crawley (33) well caught at first slip by David Warner in the latest example of the tourists' superior fielding. At stumps, England were 68-3 -- a deficit of 195 runs -- with Joe Root 19 not out and Jonny Bairstow one not out on their Yorkshire home ground.
