The Ashes 2023

Pretty obvious you take no interest in cricket. It was totally out of order to run him out. Funnily it nearly won us the game. We would have lost by 150 before they riled us up.

Was it illegal?

Lack of knowledge Dave after the 6th ball the umpire if the ball goes through should shout 'Over ' it's the logical thing to do he has pegs in his pocket to count to six ....its a given ....

Once the phase of play has finished Joey the umpire will always call over, but that particular phase of play hadn’t finished - largely because of what Bairstow had done the previous 3 balls (stroll off down the wicket!), then because of Carey’s quick thinking and Bairstow not thinking at all!

Was it illegal?

Absolutely not!

Not the point, there are certain unwritten rules

What because I believe we should play within the spirit of the game... ok mate lol. If he is down the wicket trying to hit the ball then it's fine, if he is looking for a run then it's fine. But it was the last ball off the over, the ball has gone miles past him after he leaves it, even the square leg umpire is moving before it hits the stumps. Yes he should have stayed but it's ridiculous with the situation. If that's how they want to win then fine but for me it's pretty embarrassing.

Bairstow let himself down. The wicket keeper got him good! He was constantly stepping out the crease, he got what was coming.

You don't win by being nice.

Anyone who watches or plays cricket would have expected the umpire to shout over there

It's down to the player in question to wait for that shout. He didn't and his team paid the price ultimately.

A posh public school boy not following the rules.

If that had been an England footy player from a council estate he'd be in hiding tonight from the red tops trying to destroy his life.

It is the point. The only point.

Razzie or mo you reckon?

You and your “razzie’s” … lol

Ahmed has been dropped off the squad as has Foakes. Personally I’d have played both at Headingley

 

[davek]

Absolutely not!

Exactly.

I have not seen the incident so if he never tapped his bat in the crease then he is in the wrong- as a bowler & a batsman - I often asked the umpire things just to make sure - I will watch the highlights tonight
As a bowler I was on a hattrick - the ball was a beauty plumb LBW...raised his finger then the umpire shouted not out for no reason lol the fume .....thanks to him he cost me a innings five wicket haul ....

You tell 'em D. Enough of this "it's just not cricket" malarkey, England need to go full Diego Simeone's Atletico at Anfield and snide the hell out of the Aussies.

Pogo'd!

The most controversial moment of the Ashes so far? Alex Carey stumps Jonny Bairstow

Jonny Bairstow was controversially stumped by Alex Carey as the ball was still deemed to be in play whilst the batsman walked out of his crease.
