Ravichandran Ashwin Has A Sarcastic Take On 'Spirit Of Cricket' After Jonny Bairstow Controversy

Star India spinner Ravichandran Ashwin has taken a jibe at the ones who have been criticising Alex Carey and the Australian cricket team for stumping Jonny Bairstow in a controversial manner in the second Ashes Test. After ducking a slow bouncer from Cameron Green, Bairstow had immediately left his crease to have a chat with Ben Stokes in the middle, believing that the ball was 'dead'. This is when Carey threw the ball at the stumps and appealed for the wicket of Bairstow. The decision was sent upstairs and the third umpire ruled it out.

Murray hoping to summon spirit of 2016 ahead of all-British battle

Andy Murray is relishing the prospect of an all-British Wimbledon battle as he looks to summon the spirit of 2016 and continue his searing start to the grass court season. The Scot, 36, will tussle with compatriot Ryan Peniston on Centre Court this afternoon in a tantalising first round draw at SW19. Ad Murray grabbed a pair of grass court titles in Surbiton and Nottingham last month and comes into the All England Club showpiece in the best form — and physical shape — for several years since his memorable triumphs in 2013 and 2016 after being hampered by a long-term hip injury.

Jonny Bairstow's dismissal on Day 5 of the second Ashes Test between England and Australia sparked major controversy at Lord's. The incident happened on the final ball of the 52nd over of England's 371-run chase when Bairstow ducked a bouncer from Cameron Green.

Was Jonny Bairstow Run-Out 'Against Spirit Of Cricket'? UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak Responds

British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak on Monday aimed a verbal bouncer at Australia's cricketers after the Lord's Ashes match -- but ruled out turning it into a Bodyline-style diplomatic incident. Jonny Bairstow's controversial dismissal was not in keeping with the spirit of the game, Sunak's spokesman told reporters. "The prime minister agrees with (England captain) Ben Stokes who said he simply wouldn't want to win a game in the manner that Australia did," the spokesman said. But Sunak, a keen cricket fan who watched with Prince William from the Lord's pavilion on Saturday, also deplored the Long Room abuse directed at the Australians by Marylebone Cricket Club members.
