The Ashes 2023

Not at all. You stay in the crease until the ball is definitely 'dead'. I say that as one who played league cricket as a top-order batsman and wicketkeeper...

I agree that he should have turned around and waited that split second longer. But it doesn't change the fact that it was a very opportunistic, unsportsmanlike, sneaky thing to do. It doesn't feel right to me.

BTW I've also opened the batting, kept wicket and played league cricket...

1) Bairstow tried to do exactly the same thing on Labuschagne a couple of days earlier! Difference was, Bairstow missed, Carey didn't.

2) And even at local league level, as you know, there's still some sly bar-stewards!

Lads, with regards to the Bairstow dismissal:

No use crying over spilled milk.
Onward towards the next test!

If i run out of lines ill snort ashes

Is that what this thread is about?

Both keepers, in one motion, attempt to hit the stumps after they take the the ball.

Bairstow had a massive brain fart and paid for it.

Both keepers attempted to hit the stumps, but in different circumstances.

If Bairstow had been standing up to the wickets like a spinner and removed the bails when Labuschagne stepped out of the crease there woulbe no argument.

Carey's was a successful run out when Bairstow wasn't attempting a run. Within the rules, but so is a Mankad.

Or - from a Kiwi stand point;

What else do you expect from a bunch of Under Arm Bowling Convicts.

 

[degsy]

If they don't do it already...

At the end of each over the Umpire raises his arm and calls 'Over' or 'Dead' or some such

How hard is it?

It's like in boxing - Defend yourself at All times

aus pm wades in to rub sunaks nose in it. gets no respite that lad.

Malcolm Conn said in the Age today, and it was probably the SMH that this was pre-planned.

Cummins spoke to Carey about Bairstow walking down the wicket and they decided what to do.

Carey's has been classed as a stumping, not a run out I thought..

Yes, I know, but Bairstow didn't step out of the crease while playing the ball, and that's the point.

He walked down the pitch thinking that having let the ball through and having made no attempt to score a bye
that it was a dead ball.

Scraping his boot behind the crease was his gesture interpreting that he thought it was over. He was wrong.

Stumping are usually made because the batter leaves his crease unintentionally or because they run down the wicket attacking the ball and miss it.

Bairstow did neither of these.

I think it technically has to be a stumping because he was not attempting a run.

I still think the over should have been called.

 

[trublsumtrotsky]

if the keeper had fumbled it and the non striker called him through for a run he would have taken it, there wouldn't have been any 'but i thought the ball was dead' crap, this is such a non story
