"People Were Focusing On Test": Pat Cummins On Controversial Stumping In Ashes 2023
Rewinding his thoughts to Alex Carey's controversial stumping of Jonny Bairstow during the recent Ashes, Australian captain Pat Cummins said the whole episode prompted fans to get actively involve in Test cricket. During Day 5 of the second Test at Lord's, England's Bairstow had dodged a bouncer from pacer Cameron Green and inadvertently walked out of the crease, and Carey hit the stumps at Bairstow's end. The on-field umpires, Ahsan Raza and Chris Gaffaney, went upstairs, and TV umpire Marais Erasmus declared the Englishman out.
