Stuart Broad has expressed his belief that Australia captain Pat Cummins will regret his decision to uphold the appeal for the controversial stumping of England’s Jonny Bairstow at Lord’s.
The animosity between England and Australian players is going to intensify even further after wicket-keeper batter Jonny Bairstow was controversially stumped by Alex Carey on Day 5 of the second Ashes Test at Lord's. While Australia did everything within the rules of the game, the dismissal did trigger the spirit of cricket debate among fans and former cricketers. After the conclusion of the game on Sunday, a video emerged on social media where Bairstow could be seen having a rather 'cold' handshake with Australia skipper Pat Cummins.
Jonny Bairstow's controversial run-out has sparked a debate on social media, questioning the "spirit of the game." The incident took place during the 52nd over of Day 5 of the second Ashes Test between England and Australia at Lord's. The English player wandered out of his ground after ducking a bouncer by Cameron Green and Aussie wicketkeeper Alex Carey made a perfect use of his awareness and threw the ball onto the stumps. Many fans and former cricketers blasted the Pat Cummins-led and especially Alex Carey for playing an unfair game.
The controversial dismissal of England batter Jonny Bairstow in the second Ashes Test on Sunday, once again raised the debate of Spirit of Cricket vs Laws of the Game. 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.
Another Ashes Test ended on a controversial note after England's Jonny Bairstow was run-out in a bizarre manner by Australia's wicket-keeper Alex Carey. Bairstow, thinking the ball was dead, wandered out of his crease and Carey used the moment to shatter the stumps. After the decision was referred to the third umpire, Bairstwo was given out, much to the disappointment of fans and the English team. When Pat Cummins was asked about the incident, in reference to England skipper Ben Stokes saying he would've withdrawn the appeal, the Australia captain gave a one-word response.
LONDON: Australia captain Pat Cummins admitted his team had endured an uncomfortable time before winning the second Ashes test against England at Lord's by 43 runs on Sunday (Jul 2).
Australian cricketer Nathan Lyon was told by his skipper Pat Cummins not to bat with a significant calf strain in the ongoing second Test against England but the veteran spinner ended up doing that to "support" his teammates. Lyon, playing in his 100th consecutive Test, is suspected to have torn his right calf while running to catch a ball on day two of the second Ashes Test at Lord's. But on Saturday, he hobbled onto the batting crease and helped Australia add 15 runs to increase their lead to 370 runs.
Australia's left-arm quick Mitchell Starc could be in contention to return to the bowling attack for the second Ashes test at Lord's but captain Pat Cummins said he may delay a decision on the final lineup closer to Wednesday's toss.
