Watch: Jonny Bairstow 'Routine' Exposes Reason Behind Alex Carey Stumping

England wicket-keeper batter Jonny Bairstow has been in the headlines ever since his controversial dismissal on Day 5 of the second Ashes Test at Lord's.

While there remains a 'spirit of cricket' debate around the dismissal, the letter of the law allowed what happened on the field. Now, a video has emerged highlighting Bairstow's 'routine' that prompted Carey to throw the ball at the stumps.
