"I'm Somewhat...": Australia Head Coach On Brendon McCullum's Comment Post Jonny Bairstow Dismissal

Australia head coach Andrew McDonald is "disappointed" by his England counterpart Brendon McCullum's comments following Jonny Bairstow's controversial stumping that has become a flash point of the Ashes series. After the second Test, which England lost by 43 runs, McCullum said the dismissal -- which was followed by a heated argument between few MCC members and Australian openers Usman Khawaja and David Warner -- will impact the relations between the two teams. "I can't imagine we'll be having a beer any time soon. From our point of view, we've got three Test matches to try and land some blows and try and win the Ashes and that's where our focus will be," the England red-ball coach said on Sunday.

"Will We See Under-arm bowling?" Pat Cummins Asked After Controversial Jonny Bairstow Dismissal. Reply Is Gold - Watch

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.

The second Ashes Test between England and Australia at the Lord's Cricket Ground ended up being a drama-filled contest, especially because of Jonny Bairstow's controversial run-out. As the Australian team returned to the dressing room after the incident, more drama unfolded in the Lord's Long Room where certain members confronted the touring players over the incidents that took place on the field. Usman Khawaja was one of the players who decided to pause and answer some of the allegations that were being levied on his team.

The second Ashes Test between England and Australia ended in the favour of the visitors on Sunday by 43 runs. The Pat Cummins-led side took a 2-0 lead in the five-match series after England were bundled out for 327 in the chase of 371. However, this thrilling encounter will always be remembered for the bizarre run-out of Jonny Bairstow by Australia wicketkeeper Alex Carey, which sparked a controversy. Bairstow, thinking the ball was dead, wandered out of his crease and Carey used his awareness and dislodged the stumps.

Nathan Lyon Ruled Out Of Remainder Of Ashes, Backs This Youngster As His Replacement

Australian veteran spinner Nathan Lyon has been ruled out of the 2023 Ashes series against England and he has backed 22-year-old Todd Murphy to "leave his footmarks" in the series, saying that "stock ball" is good enough to provide a different challenge to the English batters. Australia on Monday announced changes to their squad for the remainder of the series, with Lyon ruled out due to a "significant calf tear" while fielding on Day 2 at Lord's.

The Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) has suspended three members over altercations with the Australian team in Lord's Long Room following Jonny Bairstow's controversial stumping on the final day of the second Ashes Test. The MCC had earlier "unreservedly apologised" to the Australian team for the behaviour of some of its members, who allegedly verbally abused several visiting players as they made way to the dressing room at lunch on Sunday. Television footage showed openers Usman Khawaja and David Warner involved in a heated exchange with spectators in the Long Room, which is an area reserved only for MCC members and their guests.

Opinions are divided over the much-talked-about Jonny Bairstow dismissal from Day 5 of the Lord's Test. While many feel that the England keeper was deservedly given out as he wandered out of his crease recklessly, others feel Australia should've given him a warning and not stump him on the first instance. However, a video has emerged on Twitter suggesting Carey might not have been the first one to attempt such a dismissal in the match but the man in the spotlight, Bairstow himself.

James Anderson To Be Dropped From 3rd Test? England Great Would Do So

Former England captain Michael Vaughan feels that the team management should rest veteran pacer James Anderson for the third Ashes Test against Australia, which will be played at Headingley from July 6-10. Vaughan's comments came amid Anderson's poor show in the ongoing Ashes series. The 40-year-old has picked just three wickets across four innings in the first two Tests. Vaughan said that Anderson has "lacked that zip" and "needs a little breather". He suggested the management should bring in someone like Mark Wood who has "a little bit of extra pace".
