The British and Australian prime ministers have traded verbal bouncers after a controversial Test match between the two sides that has rocked the usually genteel world of cricket.
The British and Australian prime ministers have traded verbal bouncers after a controversial Test match between the two sides that has rocked the usually genteel world of cricket. Amid allegations of bad sportsmanship, cheating and verbal abuse after Australia took a 2-0 Ashes series lead on Sunday, political leaders have now waded in. British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak fired first, sending a spokesman out to decry the dismissal of English batsman Jonny Bairstow -- who was stumped during what he appeared to think was a pause in play.
Jonny Bairstow's controversial dismissal on Day 5 of the second Ashes Test match between England and Australia at Lord's has split social media over the ongoing debate regarding the 'spirit of cricket'. Bairstow stepped out of his crease and when Alex Carey completed a direct hit, the umpires ruled that he did not signal anything to them despite the batter's protests. The incident has been analysed by many ex-cricketers but Victoria Police has come up with a hilarious point of view to the entire episode. "We'd like to thank Jonny Bairstow for reminding everyone about the dangers of stepping over the crease before you're given the green light," Victoria Police tweeted.
British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak on Monday aimed a verbal bouncer at Australia's cricketers after the Lord's Ashes match -- but ruled out turning it into a Bodyline-style diplomatic incident.
British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak on Monday aimed a verbal bouncer at Australia's cricketers after the Lord's Ashes match -- but ruled out turning it into a Bodyline-style diplomatic incident. Jonny Bairstow's controversial dismissal was not in keeping with the spirit of the game, Sunak's spokesman told reporters. "The prime minister agrees with (England captain) Ben Stokes who said he simply wouldn't want to win a game in the manner that Australia did," the spokesman said. But Sunak, a keen cricket fan who watched with Prince William from the Lord's pavilion on Saturday, also deplored the Long Room abuse directed at the Australians by Marylebone Cricket Club members.
The Prime Minister has spoken about the “sting” of racism, as he reflected on his love of cricket in the wake of a damning report into the sport. Rishi Sunak, an avid cricket fan, joined the BBC’s Test Match Special programme for an interview during a break in today's Ashes action.
