High drama as Bairstow given out after Carey throw

[Trichromatic]

Quote

An Ashes controversy kicked up on the final day of the second Test after Jonny Bairstow was given out in bizarre circumstances, prompting an exchange of words between the two side's captains and boos ringing out around the normally genteel Lord's.

Bairstow, on 10 and shaping as a crucial figure in England’s fourth-innings pursuit of 371, ducked under a harmless bouncer from Cameron Green. Wicketkeeper Alex Carey immediately underarmed the ball at the stumps as the batter inadvertently wandered out of his crease.

Sorry, out is out.  You got to be more careful until you're sure the ball is dead. As much as I despise the Ozzies, this is the way cricket is played.

 

This sounds like when Srikkanth ran himself out in his debut innings when he stepped out of the crease to blow his nose or something.

Really? He did that

Sorry, not actually blow  his nose, but more like rub it with his gloves while loudly sucking in the mucous with a contorted expression. It was his way of regaining focus.

Starc, Cummins were very vocal after Ashwin's mankad dismissal in a random IPL game. There were threads opened on the IPL forum where some of our brown coolies threw their weight behind the goras and argued how they have a superior sports culture, hence play fair. Where are those buddhijeevis now?

That's cheap act from Aussies but as Ellyse Perry said long back about Mankad that if you have to do anything against the spirit, do it vs English. So, Aussies doing this to English is completely fine for me as well.

Maybe they thought about it some and came to see the light (;

Spirit of cricket is a nonsense concept applicable only when one of the gora sides is on the receiving end against SC side or WI. In all other cases rules are rules. The earlier Indians shed their inferiority complex the better.

If the rule is "unfair," then petition the ICC to change it.

This dismissal had nothing to do with spirit of cricket because Carey threw the ball immediately after he received it and Baitstaw was still in the crease so ball was in play. But when the ball was midway, Baitstaw left his crease as it hit the stumps. So got out stumped.

England are repeat offenders in similar situations and they always cry for spirit of the game to save them.. It works when the opposition is India (Ian Bell incident) or NZ (Paul Collingwood incident). It doesn't work against Australia.

 

Here is the Collingwood incident.. almost a replica of the Bairstow wicket. But Collingwood was allowed to continue to bat despite the third umpire giving him out..

 

Same thing happened with Ian Bell. He was given out, but England begged Dhoni to withdraw his appeal and he did.

No he was not out stumped, he was out run out.

 

It has got everything to do with spirit of the game.

And the goras happily claim suspicious catches too. Why can't they signal like gentlemen that they aren't sure if the catch is clean?

Because they play to win, we play to win hearts

They also didn't call back Elliot after he banged into the bowler midway. Serves them right

They would argue that mankad is a dismissal even before the ball is delivered whereas this is a dismissal after the ball is played by the batter. Hence they would treat this legit.

 

[R!TTER]

The ball is in play as soon as the bowler takes his runup, well technically from the point when he enters his bowling action so there's that.

Just now, Lord said:

Both England and Australia talk about spirit of the game only when they are at receiving end.

 

When they are the offenders they will quote rule book.
