England fast bowler Stuart Broad said he was "amazed" no senior Australia players considered withdrawing a stumping appeal for Jonny Bairstow after the batter was controversially dismissed on the fifth day of the second Ashes test at Lord's.
The second Ashes Test between England and Australia has become the talk of the town due to the bizarre dismissal of Jonny Bairstow by wicketkeeper Alex Carey. During the 52nd over on Day 5, Bairstow wandered out of the crease, thinking the ball was dead. Carey took advantage of the situation and threw the ball onto the stumps. After Bairstow was declared out by the third umpire, English pacer Stuart Broad came to bat and criticised Carey for not keeping up the "spirit of the game". However, the netizens did not take Broad's words lightly and called him a hypocrite by reminding him of the 2013 Ashes series.
Senior Indian off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin, who has often been subjected to unfair criticism for running out batters at non-striker's end for backing too far, has backed Alex Carey's decision to run out a wandering Jonny Bairstow on the final day of the second Ashes Test. Australia took a 2-0 lead after winning the second Test at the Lord's by 43 runs. However, there was some controversy when Bairstow (10), along with skipper Ben Stokes (155), was about to forge a partnership, ducked a slow bouncer from Cameron Green and ventured out of the crease thinking that the ball was already 'dead'.
LONDON: Ben Stokes played another magnificent innings which revived memories of his heroic Ashes test-winning knock at Headingley four years ago but on a sunny afternoon at Lord's on Sunday he was unable to finish the job.
Jonny Bairstow's controversial dismissal in the second Ashes Test sent the Lord's crowd into an unprecedented rage as Australia players were abused by spectators in the famous Pavilion Long Room. Bairstow was given out when Australia wicketkeeper Alex Carey threw the ball at the stumps after the England batsman walked out of his crease after ducking under a Cameron Green bouncer. There was confusion in the middle, Bairstow seemingly believing the ball was dead at the end of the over but Australia were happy to proceed with a deeply divisive appeal. The umpires sent the decision upstairs for review by TV umpire Marais Erasmus, who had no option but to confirm Bairstow's stumping dismissal.
